Lance's Apple Tree
Today we planted Lance's Apple tree that he gifted to kindergarten when he left for school. I had a great band of helpers: Chloe, Shyann, Jessica, Stevie Rose - GIRL POWER!!! We decide to plant the Apple tree in the garden where we have two Blueberry bushes and two Dwarf Cranberry bushes. We are going to espalier the Apple tree over the bushes. Where we dug the hole for the Apple used to be the sandpit long ago so it is very sandy. We dug out the sand and Chloe wheelbarrowed it away to the new sandpit. In one of the photos Shyann is sitting in the hole............she looked like a cute little rabbit. We planted the Apple in some TUI Garden Mix, added some worm farm compost, some Tui Potting Mix, some sheep pellets and sprinkled some TUI Slow Release plant food too. That combination hopefully will grow a nice healthy Apple tree. We can't wait to make an apple crumble with our first apples. We love apple crumble at Bayview Kindergarten.
