We were three this evening and got busy with:
- uncovering a mound of manure which had rather a large number of weeds growing in it
- more pruning of trees to encourage fruit buds to form (many more trees to do)
- pruning one of the grape vines (variety Brant for those interested in such things)
- finishing fitting tree protection to the trees on the fruit arch, so the trunks don't get strimmed
- weeding around the base of one of the large trees we inherited
- picking up quince tree leaves - to try and stop blight from re-occuring (Quince Portugal)
- taking some photos of some of the trees. Mainly (Quince excepted) they are looking great and growing really well.
