My intention in March was to plant nearly 800 trees and then stick around to water them until they were established.


It poured with rain the whole time I was here. Often I'd make a hole for a tree, turn round to pick the tree up and in that time the hole was filled with water... Anyway, the pandemic started, ferries between France and the UK stopped and with the impending lockdown,I decided to get locked down at home rather than in France.

The rain stopped when I left and there has hardly been any since. Almost all the bare root trees I planted died, about 400. Almost all the rest, trees I had propagated in pots survived. 

I did a blog for the boat, first with resale in mind, and later, for family and friends to see what was going on. I enjoyed that. But this, I plan things out, do them and then don't feel inclined to write it up. Actually I wrote an app which uses gps to log each tree I plant, so I already have a record of every tree, where it came from, what variety, which grafts, which rootstock, when it was planted and where to within 4.5 metres. That's enough data for me. It doesn't leave much time to sit around watching the insects and bats and birds and lizards.

And I have a lake to dig...
