Apple Blossom

I spent some time in the allotment today trying to blip Tony at work sowing his potatoes. He wanted to get them in before this, but the weather has conspired against him. He is difficult to blip at the best of times and, although I got a couple for the family album, there wasn't one that stood out to upload here. Tony has also been concerned about the effect of the weather on the bees pollinating his apple trees but some were braving the cold today so fingers crossed. It was good to see life in the allotment. The fruit canes which our girls gave him as Christmas presents are looking healthy and the 'insect friendly' flowering plants we picked up at Harlow Carr are established. The early potatoes are also making a show.
