"Planning and planting an orchard" course.
Posted: Sunday 30 January, 2011
Dan was booked to go on a "planning and planting an orchard" course on Saturday, but due to the minidigger opportunity, I went instead.
It was organised by Forth Valley Orchard Project and delivered by Andrew Lear www.appletreeman.co.uk. I've met Andrew before and he's not only very knowledgeable and a good presenter, but a very nice man. The planning and planting didn't worry me too much, but the pruning did. But no longer - I now feel quite confident to prune newly planted trees.
I've taken copious notes and recited my new found knowledge to Dan, so it's over to him again. He's got a winter pruning course mid-February, so after that we should be ready to go once we get the finance organised.
