a pic of all the work the men did yesterday. row of three conifers (left), two conifers on their own ( middle and right), a disappered poplar and two Apple trees.
not braved the cold today FB so well done to you and your thermals.
Lots done there MrsG - now you're all ready for spring. Whats the plan for your new planting space??
rain and wind now swept in here, but not before I mad a good attempt at cutting back old stems in the borders. Now looks much better.....weeding and mulching next Loads of new shoots sprouting away already - they don't seem to mind the daily frosts. Think I might curl up with a book now
Bekkie, I'm not a trooper after all. Had terrible night, couldn't breathe, shivered then sweated, joints ache, skin feels like I've been rubbed with sandpaper. Temperature this morning was 101.6. Lunch party cancelled. Cold seems to have turned into 'flu. Been in bed, just got up, but think I'll be back in bed shortly. Sorry to sound so depressing. Daughter and 2 grandchildren are coming tomorrow, daughter says they have just had 'flu and are immune.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

bless you dove,
more pics on the way...
this conifer was quite huge. not convinced the top will fill back in? but at least it's back to a manageable size.
I got kitted up in thermals, planted a row of raspberries in the rain.
Then I retreated to greenhouse to pot up a couple of bare root shrubs.
Then i gave in. Time for brunch I think.
I seem to be losing weight faster than OH. I think he's cheating.
pruned Apple trees or butchered apple trees- comments invited!

Oh dear BL - sorry to hear you're so poorly - hope mine doesn't evolve like yours
Get well soon ((hugs))
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
BL - hope you feel better soon. There does seem to be a lot of that about at the moment. DD had 1/2 the class off before half term with it
