2025 - What I did today

I planted an apple tree yesterday, type 'Aroma' that I bought a couple of weeks ago for far too cheap for a big tree like that. I laid cardboard around it in a circle, put stones around the edges and then tipped in wood chippings in the middle.

Been out watering it tonight, and will continue to do so for a couple of weeks. That's the advice, isn't it?

Oh and I was out inspecting the kale and cabbages, and found my first cabbage white caterpillar. I duly grabbed it and squashed it on the ground. I've not actually seen any butterflies, but I'll have to keep a close eye on my babies now.
