Frugal Living - The Cherry Tree

These initial photographs were taken in the previous garden. Having moved house in November 2008 to a house with outdoor space but no productive garden, so we are starting from scratch. Our first cherry tree was planted here on 26th December 2008 (Boxing day), along with a plum tree, pear tree and two apple trees.

Above: cherries can be clearly seen but the tiny ones are mostly landing in the mini-pond.

Left: 04/06/08 and there are still cherries to be seen. I've been watering the fruit trees as there have only been two wet days over the past 4 weeks or so. Yes, this is Scotland and yes, it has been hot and sunny for most of May and the start of June.

08/06/06 - cherries are ripening in the sun but there's no way of reaching them up there. 07/06/09 - This is the extent of the cherries on the new tree in the new garden at the new address.
