Planting a row of Conifer alongside this plot of Nordmanns was the right thing to do.

They may not be shaded all day but when they are shaded they are most definately happier.

Also makes hand watering them a better experience for us too.

Trees supporting other trees with shade is definately the way to go.

With only 21 FRIDAYS to CD all we can really focus on at the moment is keepibg our Spring planted Saplings alive.

Weeding & Mowing is on the back burner.

Watering is TOP priority.

Our MERRI Flowers ● Est.2017 are coping well with just a weekly watering.

27c is becoming the new normal..

Twenty - Three Fridays to Christmas Day, and this heatwave is still going.

Not sure whether weeding is more important than watering.

The weeds are stealing underground water reserved.

Watering would nurture both weeds & trees.

Some rain would be welcomed.

None to forgetful self.

Put reminder on calendar.

I think the sun & heat is getting to me & this watering of new trees isnt fun either....
