I put the finishing touches to my new orchard, created small paths between the rows of trees, put grease bands round their trunks and tidied the whole area.

I will grow pumpkins and courgettes in the soil around them so every bit of land will be used. Can’t wait!

My new trees are:

Warwickshire Drooper – plum

May Queen and Charles Ross – apples

Louise Bonne of Jersey – pear
