A little spring-like behaviour.

Bought trees & fruit bushes yesterday. 2 x apple, 1 x pear, raspberry, blueberry, grapes (white seedless and red table), orange, lemon & Kiwi. Planted them all out. The grape vine stumps I planted in the corners of the greenhouse, the lemon, orange and kiwi in large porcelain pots - which will remain in the greenhouse and are hardy down to -4 supposedly. Planted the raspberry cane and the blueberry bush (only 2 inches hight at the moment) outside by the other soft fruit bushes (which in my estimation are dead because of the lateness of planting and the richness of compost). Have yet to plant out the apple and pair trees - as I'm undecided where to plant them and I read that it's best not to plant them when the ground is waterlogged/still susceptible to frost. Got my spuds out chitting. Rocket, Maris Bard and Maris Piper - Earlies, Main, and lates.

A cold and damp couple of days.. A little snow fall today but nothing settled. Nothing as bad as a month or so ago.
