17:40
amendments so that is everything what
17:43
needs doing
17:45
in the garden in September so there's an
17:49
awful lot of jobs what need doing down
17:51
at the allotment and garden but most of
17:54
them can be done nice and easily and
17:56
probably a lot of them are ones that you
17:58
already know what to do so it's just
18:00
going over them and making sure that we
18:03
get all them jobs done but obviously
18:04
some of the main jobs will be pruning
18:06
the fruit trees but don't prune plum
18:09
trees don't prune cherry trees or nect
18:12
trein they are meant to be done in the
18:15
summer as that can cause Silver Leaf and
18:18
I think that's what my Plum Tree got at
18:19
the moment so any fruit with a stone in
18:22
it don't prune now prune it in the
18:26
summertime early in the summertime
18:29
you can prune all your apples your pears
18:32
at this time of year so yeah I hope
18:35

18:37
you've got a lot from it so in
