A start has been made on the Orchard.

Well the good weather is showing no signs of going so it's time to get some work done outside. Along a wall by the house was where a couple of Grape vine and a Peach tree, well they have gone and the ground prepared for planting of a couple of fruit trees. Not sure just what for now but we will see.

Over on the estate lots has been done first we had a fire, pity it was not in November but what the hell February will do. A start has been made to burn some of the rubbish, fallen and cut down trees and preparing for planting my fruit trees. I made a start on Tuesday by going to the biggest for planets that there could be. The Nursery must be about a mile long and over half a mile wide it's huge. You could even buy mature Orange trees complete with fruit for 50€. Me i just wanted two Cherry trees, the ones i got where a black cherry and if they are as good as the picture on the label  makes them luck i won't be sharing these. They are just for me.

I started a fire as i said earlier but before i prepared by having a hose connected up to the font in the village. I turned to look back at the house and the fire had spread. In the time it took to run and turn the tap on the fire was starting to spread and with water and a hose the whole of the hill could have gone up. At the top of the hill is a forest  and as there has been no rain now for over five weeks and with warm days the ground is very dry.

If you take the time to look at the photos you will see i have put pipes into soil around the trees so i can get water down to the roots. Where the trees are this is in full view of the sun all day so plenty of water is needed.
