Hi Judith,


Doing just fine, thanks, and you? We survived (or so it seems) the worst of
the weather. I had just bunged 30 trees into the ground, none got blown
over!


What type of trees?


Well, I'll bet you could guess some of them!

22 maples (mostly species), 3 beeches, 2 dogwoods, a Pocket Handkerchief
tree,
a weeping crab apple, a Tupelo, a willow, a rowan and a szechuan poplar.



Now enjoying one of the finer things in Normandy, a glass of 30 year
Calvados
before bed...


I know another man who likes Calvados!
I'm with Sacha on the Wisteria seeds. Plus, not a very expensive plant
grafted.
I have 3 that I hack at a few times a year. I really like the flowers,
but lots of
time spent on the ladder. I actually fell off while cutting one back a
few years ago,
but luckily landed well and suffered nothing worse than some temporary
spine
compression. Now I'm a little more careful!


A word of advice Emery, no drinking Calvados before hacking the
Wisteria!! Keep well.


No, I am not one of those who takes a calvados with the morning coffee!
Strictly after dinner for me, and even then not that frequently.

cheers,

-E


Like the trees Emery, have you got any pics of your garden?

I won't be seeing you in the Tabac/Bar then before 8a.m.with a little
poodle under one arm, a paper under the other and a glass of
Calvados? :-)

Judith
