We planted a new quince tree in the orchard this afternoon to replace a sadly deceased walnut tree. Here Tom is making sure the tree roots can be spread out in the (odd shaped) hole I dug.
The tree in place - it's a 'Lescovaka' organic quince sponsored by Wendy. Quince are a very old fruit, a little like pears, but usually have to be cooked to be edible.
These snowdrops were planted by Hospice Care Northumberland a few years ago. They look so pretty in the orchard grass along with a handful of purple crocus from the local Rotary club.
It was great to see the first apple buds just beginning to grow.
