Hedge Planting

Just in time for half term, we received a delivery of 1200 hedging plants from the Woodland Trust. At our request, the delivery included lots of hazel, plus quickthorn, dogwood, dog rose, euonymus, alder buckthorn, crab apple and field maple. After the recent storms, we knew it might be bit cold, muddy and windy. However, we hadn’t bargained for the blanket of snow that descended upon us by lunchtime. Not that it stopped us….or the dogs!

Dead Hedge

Our first Turnout Thursday involved clearing up the debris from the recent storms. An old ash tree managed to fall safely by (and into) the pond. We have managed to pull most of the branches out and are arranging these, together with the many fallen sticks, into a ‘dead hedge’. We hope many small animals will make homes there.

We also managed to plant some rhubarb and strawberry plants in our soft fruit area.
