Potting good time

I have spent two days in the poly tunnel potting up Scots and Norway Pine saplings for Christmas in two/three years time, it was brilliant, there is nothing better than getting back to nature and helping her along. Roz has been fantastic and has given up her Sat and Sun 8-10 sleeping times to help me pot up 500 laurel saplings, this is the best selling shrubs on the nursery!

I hope that the bare root tree stock will arrive this week, it is grown in Wisbech and the fields have been frozen and are now flooded, just like our gardens. We have a new shrub delivery also expected this week weather permitting.

Simon has spent the last two days in the pig pens, the Tamworth piglets are having a great time breaking out of their pens and fighting with the Large Black piglets. He is now putting extra wires and electric around the pens and also has decided to split the dreaded 6 as they are working like a street gang including midnight food raids. It is a good job that we have good stock proof fencing on the perimeter of the pens and do not rely on electric fencing only.

I will soon have a lot of Tamworth pork for sale!

Take care and enjoy your garden or local walks.
