Tree planting by happypat

Tree planting

We planted our new tree this morning.
It had a good soak overnight so hopefully will settle in nicely.
Our little wood has enough trees in for now although we might have to plant another cheap one the other side of this new one if we find the sun is burning the leaves a bit. Give it a bit if dappled light, it’s fine on one side but our south facing garden does get a lot of sun.

Three good things:
1. Went to see Downton Abbey at the cinema….I was disappointed. It seemed very disjointed & never got going for me somehow. The good news is as we were going in I got a phone call I had won a hamper in a raffle last week at the bowlathon. Picked it up on the way home & it’s brilliant.
2. The fencer man has been with the panels to mend our fence.
3. £25 compensation for the appointment cancelled by United Utilities.
4. Just remembered a phone call from NZ wishing me a Happy Mothers Day!
Oooh lovely! Planting is satisfying.
Sorry to hear the film was disappointing.....I was wondering what it was like.

@casablanca Other people have said it’s good so it might be just me & Dot…Dot fell asleep! Would be interested in others opinion. Another friend loved it! Didn’t compare with The Duke which was fabulous!

A great image of Harry and the new tree. It will eventually give lots of summer shade and pretty colours in autumn.

Looks like a lovely tree, hope it thrives. Shame about the film, but I suppose subsequent films often don’t live up to the first one!

Looks lovely and a good size to start with.. Lucky you with the hamper..

A lovely capture of Harry planting your new tree - Such a healthy looking tree . Seems to be your lucky day except for the film perhaps !

good to see harry enjoying himself in the garden

Nice to see that tree - quite small at this stage. Harry and you should be good at planting trees - you've done many! How nice to win a hamper - does it have chocolate in it?

Your garden looks fabulous Pat, and what a lot of good things today

It’s a lovely tree! Your good things are as good as can be!

Your new tree looks impressive. Sorry you didn't enjoy the movie, I thought it was good. As you say it was a bit disjointed but it was an easy movie to watch and I needed an easy day.

Definitely not as good as The Duke though. There are two more movies I want to see over the next few weeks, hope they are good. One is Operation Mincemeat and the other is For Olivia, have you seen either of them?

Can you have too many trees??

Looks like a beauty

Super. I hope it's successful, it certainly looks very healthy.
May 10th, 2022  
Beautiful.

Lovely tree......so good to be getting everything in place. And love your good things!
Haven't been to see Downton Abbey....yet!

Garden's looking great. Looks big! An acer? I have one in my back which is really getting quite big now. Lovely in the autumn.
