Replaced broken posts

Checked on the trees yesterday morning. It was a beautiful morning, bright, not that cold, quiet and the sun was pushing its rays and forcing them to refect the light on the tree leaves.

I have replaced a number of posts and checked on the trees. Some of the original posts have started to deteriorate but I have a number kept in storage. Just in case. I hope the trees will not need this level of protection for much longer.

I have seen a number of additional mole and worm mounds, this means that the land has had time to rest and is attracting the insects and animals that should be in an orchard. Its nice to see.

I have started to talk to people to help out with the next round of planting which will be on the 27th. I have a number of volunteers hopefully the weather will be nice, if its like its was on Sunday it would be perfect.

Today since I awoke it has been raining and it still raining.

I want to talk to my local Councillors to plan more trees in Birmingham, especially as they are planning on redeveloping the city centre. A small orchard, 20 trees or so that people can walk by, and and enjoy. But large glorious trees. Perhaps some other types of traditional trees, Oaks, chestnuts etc.
