The 6,000 arrived in style: they fell off the back of the delivery lorry. The plus side of taking 5 hours what should have been 2, was we got to practice our skills at discerning tree type by naked twig: maple have buds either side. Hazel and lime alternative. Silver birch thin redish ting etc. Everything went wrong that could. The trailer developed a flat as soon as we’d filled it. Joe’s car needed jump leads to start. But we got there. A friend of Joe’s helped sort with getting wheel on an off, the trailer was useful.
I planned the lime avenue, and will plant tomorrow.
