I wanted the dwarf trees, three mulberries and a pomegranate
Transplanted into the ground as they had outgrown their pots
I started them in pots so the dogs wouldn’t break them while playing chase in the garden. As they love to do
I had asked hubby weeks ago. But the urge hit him on one of the hottest days. I dare not put him off or I might be waiting weeks
He started digging with the post hole digger.
There used to be a very old gum tree here. It had to be cut as it threatened to fall on the house. Unfortunately the roots are still abundant.
So plan B
Bring out the big guns

Much easier on the body.
Four trees are now in the ground. Well watered in and looking happy.

We even managed to save the nasturtiums
They still need mulching.

And the rest of that garden needs weeding as well.
But we will get round to those jobs eventually
No need to rush these things
That really is the big guns. I hope the trees flourish. I'd like a turn on that digger, definitely.
ReplyDeleteI don’t touch it. Because if I do and something goes wrong. It will be my fault.
DeleteSo I just let him do all the work
If I had a tool like that I think I'd get more done in the garden!
ReplyDeleteIt does make the digging much easier that’s for sure
DeleteThank goodness you saved the nasturtions. My favourite. My winter garden is slowly filling up with them.
ReplyDeleteHope the trees thrive. I'd love a pomegranate. Maybe one day soon
I love them as well. So pretty and happy.
DeleteHopefully I’ll now get some fruit. I might have to give the pomegranate a bit of a hair cut. I’m not sure. Research is needed
Your orchard is going to be magnificent.
ReplyDeleteHopefully I’ll get some decent crops. Then I can freeze as well as eat fresh
