The last week has seen the "bones" of the orchard planted-in a semi parterre design. We currently have 28 fruit trees in ranging through the pome fruits ( apples & pears)some plums, cherries and a fig. We have also nearly finished the raspberry & blackberry beds and have decided on the position of the strawberry beds.
Above: Standing in what will be the pear walk looking past the circular quince bed towards where the back of the house will be.
We still have to plant an almond (self pollinating variety) and a mulberry, with the citrus fruit and an avacado going in later in the year.
We don't expect anything to happen on the building front this week-the builder is working a 3 day week and the only day forecast dry is tomorrow...figuires!
