Definately NOT a job for the unfit.

Hand planting Nordmanns equipment =

1 x Rachelle
1 x Julian
1 x Spade
1 x Kneeler

Best Natural Gym Workout ever !

Probably take 10yrs to grow to 5ft based on climate change challenges....

Missing you already.

Luke headed of to University of Birmingham on Sunday.

Gosh we are so going to miss you nurturing .

The Nordmann Saplings are due to arrive this week to replace any that died this year in the dry spell.

Guess its up to 'the parents' to oversee your plots for now.

Another Uni Moving In Day in Brum.

This time it was turn

University of Birmingham this time, with added bonus of a visit by Josh Merrill 😀

Home is VERY quiet, but we dont consider ourselves to be Empty Nester. Instead they are our "Bommerang Boys" ,returning home when they want to, because Uni is simply a 3-year event to make new friends, discover who you are & most importantly enjoy yourself.

1️⃣6️⃣ Fridays to Christmas Day.

Tidying Up is in full swing.

Never known the brambles to be so bad!

Guessing they liked the 5 heatwaves.

Trees in plots for tagging and choosing this year looking good.

Spring planted newbies not looking so great, but i guess thats what we have to deal with in hot weather.
