Yesterday I went up to Coolcaha and planted all the remaining trees for this year. I started our ‘nuttery’ and put in walnuts, a heart-nut, cob nuts and sweet chestnuts. thanks to Rob and Emma, Graham and Paul and Jacinta for gifting us some of these. We’re very much looking forward to watching them grow and collecting the first nuts.
I also started a small orchard and put in 3 small apples and a very fine victoria plum which Fiona got for us.
And I managed to stick a few ash and hazels into gaps in the hedges.
When I wasn’t digging, I made a quick run round and took some photos of the first signs of spring. (See the [picture blog](http://minktoast.net/pictures/fb.php)) It’s great to see things starting to grow - and the daffodils that we put in with mum and dad last autumn are really blooming!
