Pruning late with the chain saw…

There was no option that was going to avoid this. We aren’t getting any younger, and we are both carrying injuries that make mowing the ‘growing wild’ orchard unpalatable and hard work. Gordon kitted up and took the chain saw out to the worst of the sprawling mass.

I started to get ready to sow the veg seeds in pots and trays, but I feel it is still too early given we don’t have a greenhouse and most mornings had a light frost pre a nasty storm blowing in yesterday. I still think it is too early for the spuds as well.

We did get a chicken and leek pie with the last of the leeks I sowed in 2018.
