| Prunus persica var. Nucipersica |
A fine warm Saturday and lots to do. Unusually we began with a bonfire! The men mowed both lawn and orchard each with their own lawn mowers (I'm STILL not allowed to do this yet - sigh)!

| Loving the colour of these buds! |
As the first job, Chris and I potted up a rescued Nectarine from Janine. My task is to keep it alive! It's a bit of a challenge as it was looking a tad poorly and displaying a lot of die back & dead wood and had been planted in clay soil in a sodden garden. It's now enjoying some more suitable conditions with a proper mix of potting medium. It's a self fertile dwarf variety - Prunus persica var. Nucipersica with lovely deep pink flowers. It's max height at 10 years is only about 5 feet so I'll keep it in a pot and try plenty of TLC keeping a sharp lookout for the dreaded Peach Leaf Curl.
