IT'S PLANTING TIME!

Hello - I am back!

Regular readers of this blog may have noticed that there has been a long gap since the last entry - and that is because I have been recovering from an operation in hospital - but I am back on the road of recovery!

Well, we have had one of the wettest November's on record in Suffolk - I know it is small fry compared to our friends up North - but we have had nearly 5 inches of rain since the end of October - that is a lot for Suffolk - especially when you think that it is actually more than for the entire previous 7 months.

It has meant that the ground is now perfect for planting - before the weather gives in - trees and shrubs and hedging plants can now be planted - they will make a lot of root growth while the soil remains warm - and be partially established by next year - giving them a head start on spring plantings.

What are you waiting for - get out there!!

UNTIL NEXT TIME,
RICHARD
