Cold then Wet

Monday was a cold sunny day and it tempted us into the garden to do a little bit of planting and some tidying up. The weather changed during Monday night as rain moved in to make Tuesday a wet and windy day but much milder.

It gave me chance to pot up our new apple tree Baya Marissa. Sue has more about this apple tree on her blog here. The plan is it will spend the worst of winter in the greenhouse before being moved outside once the weather improves in early spring. The plan at the moment is that it will be moved into a larger pot and grow along side our other “pot” fruit at home rather than be planted in the plot. 

I’m undecided as the whether it should go into a bigger conventional type of pot or be planted into a large air pot like our new cherry tree. I've got all winter to make up my mind.
