Roll on next year!
« on: November 17, 2011, 07:54:29 pm »
My nursery delivery arrived today. A whole bunch of bare root autumn raspberries, a wineberry, and a cobnut tree, all now planted out! Hope the nurse doesn't notice the mud on the finger dressing/splint...!

Coincidence - BBC2 now (Great British food revival) has a little segment on cobnuts, hopefully I'll get a couple in the first year at least :D

Just chuffed! All set for planting veg etc in spring now

Makes the winter shorter when you start looking forward to spring.  :thumbsup:

I start looking forward to spring at the end of summer.  I've been waiting ages already.  Never mind, it was a lovely day today and I spent several hours outside.   :D

I don't bother about New Year but I look forward to the shortest day - then, however imperceptably, the days start getting longer  ;D

Me too.  I hate December for the low light levels.  I'm saving doing my seed order until then to cheer me up with the promise of spring.

I saw the cobnut thing too - we planted a red one in 2006 and haven't had a nut yet  :o  We have loads of ordinary hazels too - same thing.  However, a friend a couple of miles away has loads, so I will just continue to wait.  I hadn't thought of eating them green/white though.

There is NO planet B - what are YOU doing to save our home?

Do something today that your future self will thank you for - plant a tree

 Love your soil - it's the lifeblood of your land.

Awww no!
Well, I did justify it by saying it would also provide peasticks... ;)
