Filling in the Holes

Our trees for the back field were delivered yesterday and we decided that there was no rush to plant them. Priorities for me were lifting the dahlias and cannas and for John to continue the preparation for reseeding the courtyard. However rain stopped play, it was not forecast, we were more concerned about the minus one which is forecast for tomorrow morning. In true English fashion we had a cup of tea and reviewed the situation. The sky was very black and it was raining slightly but John decreed it was perfect tree planting weather!!

First move your tree, or should I say fit your truss. I couldn't help John at all as I could see the funny side of him disappearing behind the tree and then finding the hole in the middle of the field without falling down it. We had to cut the pot away as the tree was too heavy to deal with any other way. Four barrow loads of compost/soil/manure mixture later our little cedar of Lebanon (yes one of those enormous trees, but they do take 200 years to get that size) was planted.

We celebrated his arrival with a 2 euro bottle of bubbles - who needs an excuse.

When you all say why is he still working on that bedroom ... trees, lawns etc. is why.  John
