Now sleeping in zeds office at the back of the " big shed "
Raining first part of the morning.
When rain subsided I started digging out more earth (to eventually become a pond) on the marshy woodland floor below zeds office. The earth was put in several 4 litre pots and three ten litre pots and carried up next to office ready to have plants and cuttings put in if it started raining .. I could do it indoors to stay busy.
Created a toilet cubicle in zeds office garden - Z.o.g in case Gemma does stay which she's saying she wants to.
Cut brambles and buddleia in front of the big bamboo in zog , also cleared brambles under the left hand apple tree at zog .
Went down into n the woods below zog with new chainsaw and started coppicing and processing a few willows to start allowing sun in and also the thick straight trunks might get used as living fence posts as the boundary fence has fallen over there. Rotted.
Moved some plastic pallets out of zog and also various rubbish. Moved some of the rotten pallets onto the rotten timber pile .
Cut back a load of brambles etc in the top garden.
Planted a Jonagold apple ( £6.50 from B&M ) in top garden at back near the goat willows on bank. Subsequently used my new electric chainsaw to cut back the nearby goat willows and buddleja to ensure the new apple tree gets plenty of light and space to grow. Also pollarded to shoulder height three dead eucalyptus trees to ensure they don't fall onto apple or any other plants . One in particular is right next to apple tree.
Moved four big lorry tires onto top garden for possible use as potatoe planters.
When dusk arrived and it also started raining I went in the zoffice potted six small Gunnera plants into six four litre pots , put in lots of deciduous eleagnus ( umbellata?) cuttings into the ten litre pots and also some shrub-rose cuttings in the ten litre pots (might be a wild rose not sure yet I haven't seen the flowers).
Not sure if I've missed anything out but definitely a productive day.
