UPDATE ON THE SUCCESSFUL TREE PRUNING WORKSHOP, AND THE GARDEN'S GARLIC AND PEAS

 
Garlic in the garden. We're not using the irrigation system at this point - there is plenty of water still falling as rain!



One of Keith's lovely older pruning tools. He likes these even better than the modern metal ones   available these days - the older wood ones are lighter and work really well! Keith said he found these in Eastern WA.






Here's one of the apples after pruning.

And a couple of the pears a few weeks later, now showing more signs of buds and leaves.
