    Another sunny day. I spent part of it up a ladder (again, and I hate heights) pruning an old apple tree.

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
  • Goodies indeed Perki!

    Yes you're right, a pulmonaria Ocupol, clematis Parisienne (that was a boo boo buy - right colour, wrong sizeimage) an apricot delight achillea, rudbeckia maxima and the empty looking pot is a Buphthalmum.

    Wearside, England.
  • Any tips guys starting on a new allotment tomorrow

    lots of digging to do is there anything that I should be starting to plant
  • We've been planting hazel today, they were a bundle of 10 (dh calls them twigs) as our neighbou hasn't leaved next door for quite awhile and her fence keeps falling down and we cannot keep trying to patch it up/replace some panels so thought we would plant so hazel as a living fence.

    Vegbythesea - if you having any fruit trees / bushes ( currants etc ) now would be a good time to plant unless the ground frozen / really wet cold. 

    Before you get stuck in make a plan on paper or in mind like me image, remember you need to rotate your veg to reduce the chance of disease so 3 + beds would be ideal. 

    Make a compost bin/heap, no perennial weeds on the compost heap/bin. 

  • Thanks perki

    Any tips are always helpful I've got a couple of fruit bushes ready to go in
