THE 2011 PROJECT (6)

The last part of the 2011 Project was completed today when I planted two cherry trees in the middle of my new lawn. My neighbour is a cherry farmer who has just uprooted his stock of trees and planted new ones. I asked him a couple of months ago if he could reserve two for me, when he did that. Today I went round and collected them, paid him kr.100, and then put them to bed for the winter. He tells me that there won't be any fruit next year, but there should be some the year after that.

So, now I can start thinking about next year's project, getting to grips with the orchard. Top priority is a new chain for the chainsaw.
