Spring

With the willow back in shape we started planning what we would like to grow this year. We discussed choosing a tree that we could plant in a pot as part of the nationwide tree planting emphasis for this year. The children decided they would like an apple tree, so we ordered a Lord Lambourne and it now stands proudly next to our greenhouse. We also ordered some tomato and cucumber seeds and Laura bought some pumpkin seeds. We have planted out some strawberry plants and hope that we may get some strawberries by the end of the summer. One of our daily tasks is to check the bird feeders as we have many birds visiting our garden and one of our regular visitors is the pheasant who likes to pick up the seed that has fallen.
