We have started our spring time planting down on the croft starting with over 400 willow cuttings, Salix viminalis,candida, nigra. There have been some great sunsets over Loch Torridon. Candida is a shrubby willow and should give us good firewood sticks in four years time.

Two buzzards hunting over the Torridon crofts today, one was very high `mewing` and soaring yesterday in the cool blue air but strong sunny day following a frosty night. But things warmed up a bit today and it was possible to plant up some recently bought bare rooted trees, Amelanchier `s or Juneberries\Shadbush which will grow and produce sweet black elderberry sized fruits after a show of hundreds of white petalled flowers in May. Sea Buckthorn was also planted for its vitamin rich orange berry crop, crab apple James Downie, Blackthorns. |
