Planting Trees and other stuff

Kiwi and Honeygold apple supports almost finished.

The plantings are coming along.  My husband has constructed the supports for the kiwi and espalier apple tree, we just have to add the cable supports.  He is very good with wood and produces a fine product whenever I ask.  I got busy and sifted some compost so I could mix in some "good stuff" with the old shrub bed soil.  After getting these fruiting plants in the ground, we sighted the area for the peach tree and put that in as well.  It was a bit breezy this morning and the trees were not anchoring in the soil as well as I would have liked.  The are lightly staked to keep them from tipping their root balls out while they are settling in.

I have also been taking stock of what has reseeded that is worth keeping.  There is quite a bit of good stuff in the garden beds that I will have to weed around and tuck in additional plants from my garden stock.  Everything is on the small side from starting it later, so the plants will grow up side by side just fine.  Often the new additions are larger and over-power the reseeding annuals.  We have the materials for a new garden planter (raised) to go along the fence.  This will be the area for most of the bedding plants to go in.  We are still going to work on growing some flowers for the wedding.

I have taken stock of what I have inventory this morning.  I may have more than I need.  I really should get the flower pots done which would use up all the odd stuff I bought.  I would also know how much additional plants I have to share as far as all the cutting plants go.  I am just a bit tired from this morning, so sitting at the computer is much more appealing than crawling around on my hands and knees.  Time to motivate and get back out there.
