How many trees........

........can you cram into one medium sized 4x4?
Well, I can tell you, it's 7, plus various shrubs, pot plants and grasses.
 I had a much needed afternoon out at a local Pépinière (garden centre, tree nursery) with Bev today, and somehow we managed to spend over 3 hours there (it is a rather big garden centre) buying quite a lot of stuff!!
I think Bev's going to be very busy planting over the next few days!!  It was fun, thanks Bev.
