Who could say no to an oak tree when the opportunity arose? Despite nearly 4 tons of pavers on the drive at the time of delivery, room just had to be found and another third was dropped in the adjacent field (courtesy of Rob Holloway). Sunday (under the heat of the sun!) was spent splitting and lugging but, on this occasion, not by our blogger who was just as busy getting the garden ready for an imminent visit from garden inspectors at the N.G.S.. Logging fell to Ian, Al and Chris and some very big toys. If I was totally honest, I'd have to admit that it was good to have a tractor ticking away on the drive at PTC working. Memories from the old days I guess.
Undeterred and in blistering heat of the greenhouse, plants overwintered were single handedly lugged out. I had help with the lemon but couldn't interrupt logging further so just had to plough on with all the others. After the freezing cold spring, tomatoes were still in their pots instead of being in their final planting places. I certainly chose a bad day for greenhouse work - the tomatoes were planted out and never had a G&T tasted so good!
