2022 - What I did today

As the weather was sunny, I decided it was a good day to plant out my Christmas present, 4 each of hornbeam, downy birch and beech. Added in 5 oak grown from acorns. I was helped, with the first one by my grandson but he went off then to do cookery with his granny, ginger biscuits. The place I planted them already had several self seeded oaks, damson and hawthorn. The instructions said to keep them weeded for the first few years but they will have to fend for themselves. I may water them if we get a prolonged dry spell this year.
