So I've just submitted another order for plantage from Ashridge Trees. Most of last year's trees that I planted in our proto-hedge have done fairly well, so this order is largely to fill in a few gaps and also run along the bottom of the garden, where there is a bank of pretty much unsupported earth, so a new hedge should help keep our garden from escaping as well as improving our boundaries.
This order includes a new apple tree (Spartan, to go alongside our existing James Grieve and Bramley) and a heap of roses, some of which are wild roses to go into the hedge, and some being for loading into beds to make the garden prettier. OK, it all means more work, but it'll be worth it in the long term.
It'll be at least a month before we receive these goodies, so we just have to hope their arrival doesn't coincide with Asbo.
