Busy morning with lots of work activities. Loads of trees lined out and watered in the tree nursery where Andrew had put posts and wires in for us to tie them to to prevent wind rock
Manda worked her magic on the strawberries- transplanted and fleeced them
We potted on the self seeded dill and some butler runner beans which had germinated.We also had a few visitors some for a look around others bearing gifts. Thank you for the plants Dave. Great job Susy, Alyson, Anna and Alessio
