Little Green Shoots

The raspberry canes and currant bushes are starting to shoot. So far so good. It's nice to see they haven't completely given up after being moved from what seemed like a perfect location to a wet and windy site. We need to net them too although bird damage is the least of our worries, we can always fix that next year depending on how well the plants perform after their move.

The embers of the hedge cut back this season glow in the evening light but the very next day we're out planting a new hedgerow. I turn 40 this year, while i'm having great fun planting all these trees and putting in the infrastructure for a proper market garden. I sometimes wonder how i'll be feeling about all the maintenance required when i'm about to turn 50. I'll let you know about that one.
Everyone loves a fire in the evening
