As previously advertised, Ella and Livvy came down to Struan Farm this past weekend to help us with various work projects (in addition to enjoying the usual pancake breakfast with maple syrup, butter, and fresh berries on Sunday, prepared by Ella and JoJo).
They went on thistle patrol and spread grass seed, but the most important job they accomplished was potting up our seedling oak trees. These self-seeded from acorns that were in the leaves we put over our tulip bed last autumn, so an unexpected bonus!
Before the potting commenced, John (aka JoJo) walked everyone over to the largest oak tree in the Pet Paddock to put the seedlings into perspective:
There were over 20 in total, it will be interesting for both the girls and us to see them grow.
