This is my Orchard Diary. The Orchard was planted in November 2008. We have planted roughly 100 trees. They are all fruit trees. These include apple pear cherry plum peach and apricot. I have 5 bee hives and am organic, though not registered. This is in part my way of fighting climate change, and making a difference. I'm making the change I want to see.

Trees are asleep and the buds are visible
When I walk around the orchard I can see that all the trees are dormant. Very few trees now have leaves and if they do they have very few. I can see some ladybirds around and the number of birds pottering around is also diminishing.
In truth I don't even see many rabbits at the moment, but the last couple of weeks have been cold and wet. I haven't managed the get all the manure around all the trees and it looks like it will have to be done over the next couple of weeks. I will get it done and now that I have the Christmas break I will spend one of the days to get the job done.
I can see that buds are ready for next year, as the picture shows. The picture is a but blurry but it shows the buds on a cherry tree.
