The trees

We brought the apple trees up with us  and they really haven't done anything, regardless of what we have tried to  protect them.
Putting treed in the polycrub has been a success - but there is a limit to how many we put in  without comprimising any other stuff we want to grow.

The tree in the polycrub produced some apples last year - hopefully more this year.









 But one , planted in a sheltered spot near the house has  at least put on a lot of growth .












So I decided to build a raised bed

Which got filled with soil and decoartively enclosed with some stone that is lying around

And now has 6  apple trees  in it

 So we shall see what happens later in the year.
