Cool and windy. Bummer. Ah, well, it must still be nice to get out and about to such places.

As you asked, I took some pictures of my trees which I've posted in the 'my growing area, section of the gallery. There are 47 in all, all in different stages of development. As you can probably see, most are still in the trunk development stage. The larger trident (the first tree in my new bunch, and the longest in the ground before moving house) is nearly ready to begin branch formation.

All bar one of these are my new collection, and most of the maples I have grown from 1 year old seedlings. Only the English elm survived from my original collection. All (bar five) of the azaleas I got this year from a specialist rhododendrom nursery in Surrey and are cutting ranging from 1 to 3 years old (they'll go in long-pots in the spring to grow on).

If there's any of them you'd like a closer look at, let me know.
