Now you have watched this, you can’t say you weren’t warned 🙂 That’s why I’m adding another poly tunnel in the garden!!

New Tunnel Ordered
I took the plunge today and ordered a new Poly Tunnel for added space for over Wintering my trees. This year I hope to have everything tucked away somewhere. This is what should be delivered next Tuesday.
It’s the slightly stronger version with heavier frame. I rang the company to order it and told them I had seen the same one on ebay cheaper. Turns out that the ebay site is theirs as well. He gave it to me for the cheaper ebay price but, as usual, living in Northern Ireland, even though we are still part of the UK, I had to pay an extra £10 postage [grumble grumble, pet hate] That said, all in, postage and all, it only cost me £82.
One of my benches is on it’s last legs and will be taken apart this weekend to make room of its arrival. Anybody free on Wednesday to help me put it up? No harm in asking 😀
Winter Protection
I managed to get a little time yesterday to pull together 4 videos from our clubs ‘Bonsai School’, back at the beginning of October. Peter Snart of Willowbog Bonsai fame gave us a good hour of information about planning for the expected bad Winter forecasted for the UK. It turned into a bit of a discussion on a few occasions but this adds to the sharing. I have embedded the videos below but you might want to watch them on Youtube for the bigger screen. Although seeing Peter on a larger format in HD might not be your wisest decision 😉
You can watch these at your leisure. If you find them of use, make sure you give them a thumbs up!
Away for the Winter
I lifted a few of my trees away from their stands today. They had finished their show for the year and are now being tucked away for the Winter.
This Fuji Cherry was nearly bare.
It is totally bare now 🙂
I’m going to look up a few of the photos from this tree during the year and do a season by season post. Should be nice seeing the flowers fruit and Autumn colour all on one page.
This Crab Apple has also dropped all it’s leaves. I took the wire off before putting it away for Winter. All branches seem to have set from it’s wiring in the Spring.
