This winter has been very mild to say the least. Last week I was out sweeping the yard in a T-shirt. For England in January, thats not a common sight - But then again... me sweeping the yard is nor a common sight either
I've mostly just been sheltering my trees from the wind of late. Its been gusting pretty bad here the past few days, and up north tonight, winds are expected to be gusting up to 100MPH (160 KPH).
Recently I acquired about 30 or more dormant tree seedlings, so I potted those up, and couldn't resist wiring a couple lol. Oh and I sprayed one of my Japanese hollys which has scale infestation with an insecticide - and it dropped about 80% of its foliage - so I wont be doing that again in a hurry!
I've also got quite a few different species of tree seed which I was going to leave to nature this year. However, seens as it has been so mild, I've been keeping them in the fridge and recently moved them into the freezer for a good, old fashioned winter chilling.
Other than that, I have been taking my frustrations out on my ugly ligustrum - poor thing must dread it when I walk into the room.
I am planning on getting some timber to make some additional benches to work and place trees on.
