Wanted to record our little Orchard of two apple, pear and a plum tree starting its magical journey in 2012. The Lord Lambourne Apple in particular is looking healthy and strong although the Plum is looking weary and the Pears will need careful watching in 2013. The chicken wire surrounds seem to have held off the rabbits for now and we did manage to salvage some companion planted garlic. Think we may plant some daffodils around the trees next year. So blessed to have the space to grow our own fruit, very excited about the future!
