June has been a slow month. Our potato plants began to die so we started digging up their little red treasures. Our PDC lecturer inspired us to buy some bare rooted trees. We bought an almond from St Erth to grow up and hide the flats and a nectarine because it rates as one of my favourite fruits. The almond is going to share its plot with a sweet little kiwi berry and some spring bulbs. Dylan pruned the poor almond down to three branches, but come spring the sad little twig should sprout into an abundance of leaves and flowers…fingers crossed. Perhaps his min swale will help it flourish.
