June is here, the sun's been out all day and the garden is looking lush and green. The anticipated answer as to the survival of the cherry tree, after last autumn's felling, has emerged and popped out it's first shoot. It looks like the attempted pollard has been a success. Kevin (the cat) is very pleased that his most favourite climbing pole will soon be growing tall again!
