March doings . . .

I cannot believe that March is nearly finished!  I have been pootling around in the garden, it's the sunshine's fault1  lol

At the first sign of Spring, there I am . . . . trowel in hand, seed packets found . . . here a fork . . . there a pair of pruners . . . 

It's no good reminding me that I only went out to fill the bird feeders!!

The back end of February I decided to prune the fruit trees.  I have a triple apple and pear duo, just two trees but they haven't been pruned properly for a couple of years.  I was determined to do them this year, otherwise they become too big to be manageable . . . . I like my trees/bushes as wide as my arms can go and as high as I can comfortably reach.  I didn't think to take photos of them beforehand, I just went out there and did it!!

There's the apple tree(s)  . . . .

There's the pear tree(s) . . . .

and there's the prunings, all ready to be chopped down for the recycling bin . . . .

Happy, happy, joy, joy!!
