Today was another cheap tree day, this time around Aldi had fruit trees for £4.18 each. I had inteded on just getting a plum tree but as I was there looked through the others and managed to find a polinator for the pear tree we already had. I also picked up a few windowsill propogators  as these were pretty cheap. The trees I ended up with were a conference pear and victoria plum. All going well  will get some stakes tomorrow or Saturday and get them in the ground this weekend.

Todays shopping trip means we now have five trees and I intend to get one more as a polinator for the apple, I’m thinking about getting a Katy/Katja but need to have a look around local nurseries and garden centres to see if I can find one.

I dropped the new trees off down the allotment at lunchtime and still think the plot is looking good after last weeks hard work. I think the shed wil need another coat of paint mind, there’s a few patchy looking bits but overall the blue is looking good!
