    It’s great to see planting your food forest. I agree a blooming tree at your entrance will be lovely. Notice your cats got worried you were leaving them and they got out of there cosy nests in your cold weather.

I recently learned from another you tube channel , in Franse, you must plant the tree, flower in that black container it will desolve and you must not disturbed the roots, if you do your plant have a set-back and this person was an horticultural expert.

    Fruit trees? Wow...that's lovely. Please prune those fruit trees down when the time is right so that they are easy access to harvest. I have seen too many people having a hard time reaching because they are too tall. And also prune the fruit buds so that they are not in competition for growth and you'll have big and juicy fruits😉 😜. Check out orchard farming. They have awesome ideas 😅❤❤. Did I miss you mentioning cherries 🍒 😉. Oh...they are lovely, aren't they? Hope all the trees do better this year and will produce plentiful. ❤😊
