We are now working in the far end of the orchard. This is the “pointy” end of the triangular orchard. This part was behind the shed and had a lot of tree roots, not to mention a build up of soil. Much of this was cleared with a machine last week. Now it is down to clearing the ground by hand and rebuilding the wall.
We called it a day around 2pm due to the extraordinarily good weather. The temperature was topping 27C and it was just too hot to be digging and moving stones around. This part of the orchard has little shade from the sun, so it was very difficult to keep cool.
We are now getting down into the corner of the orchard furthest away from the house.
We are probably approaching the last 5 metres of wall in the orchard.
