That will be a heavy root to dig out after 40 years, Do exactly as SueA has said, to give a new fruit tree the best possible start. You are right to consider the soil before planting. Our plants deserve the best start in life. If you decide to try the living branch again, prune it in June, not winter, and tie the branch down to a weight. This worked for me when I lived near Oxford. I am surprised you have no blossom as this year has been good and hopefully was pollinated before this recent cold spell. Last year, was not great for early plums, but Victoria plum was later and there was plenty of fruit.

At last there is enough rain to wet under the plants. It is just a light drizzle, but yesterday I had to water the pots. The weather is still cold and overcast.

That is a very refined tulip Eli. Early too.

I bought 3 Eryngium for the front which is very hot. I have to get rid of some gravel before planting.

Soft hail and sunshine this morning. It is still bitterly cold, but not so windy.

Oh really Steve? The pics are a better quality on the IPad but I haven’t learned to use it for the family chat. There is a link between my iPhone and iPad, but there is a slight difference because the IPad was bought in Australia and the iPhone here in UK. This happened with my daughter-in-law in Scotland and she had to go to a High Street expert to have them made compatible. I will give it a go. Thanks.

grindle that is really lovely. I now have the Cuprinol stain (Seagrass) for my fences and shed. I hope it won’t look too different to the colour you have chosen. I need to have the fences power washed first. Thank goodness for our sons.

Flurries of sleet, yet lots of sunshine yesterday.
Today I am glad the wind has dropped, although still strong. So far, cold, cloudy and sunny.

Sunny and we had hardly any rain yesterday. However, I am wearing an extra layer.
