I put all three of my lovely apple tree’s in this morning. As you can see from the picture below the garden is now complete and does not need a single other thing doing to it.

Sometimes I look out of the window and am full of dread and pessimism about the garden, feeling that I’ll never get it into any kind of usable state. Other days I can look out and think “ah, there’s not that much to do! I’ll just bang a few plants in and it’ll be fine”. The truth is somewhere in between the two I suspect. It does look a lot better than it did when we first moved in though.

I’ve a horrible feeling that the apple trees are destined to die, despite me following Mr Flowerdew’s instructions to the best of my abilities. The soil here is far from wonderful, as are my gardening skills. I’ll keep you posted on the tree’s wellbeing, but if you are the type of person who becomes emotional at the sight of a wilting bush then I advise you to continue to read my blog with caution.
