Exciting day ahead
Exciting day ahead here, we have this flail mower coming to cut the pathway around the oak grove spiral. Cant wait to get the drone up after to see how the spiral looks from above. Will keep you all posted.
After this it will be marking out the spiral for the planting of the ancient oak trees I've been collecting.
First oak tree to be planted will be from the Bowthorpe oak in Lincolnshire, said to be the largest girthed oak in the UK. I collected this oak myself from the owner of the tree when I was over visiting it. He grew it himself from acorns of The Bowthorpe and gave me it.
After I seen the Bowthorpe I was straight down to see the Major Oak aka The Robin Hood oak in Sherwood Forest.
I collected many acorns from this tree a few years ago which have now grown into little oak trees. So The Robin Hood oak will be the second tree to be planted in the spiral.
Not sure what the 3rd tree will be that I'm planting, I've 15 ready this year for planting with another 22 to go over the next few years.
I have 37 I want planted from acorns collected of all the oldest and most iconic oak trees in the UK and Ireland.
What I plan to do is add a QR code at each tree and people can scan it to take you to my website to see all the myths and stories of the parent tree. Like an oak museum type of thing. Over time I would like to get proper long lasting plaques that will have information about the parent tree too staked next to the oak trees.
This is a lifetime ambition of mine.
Sure what else would you want be doing with this precious life, carry on being the parasitic rat playing the monopoly board then die knowing you've did nothing but exploit nature, like I did most of my life.
In Buddhism they believe your consciousness carries on when we die and the only thing you are bringing with you is your karma.
Ps pics are from the Bowthorpe and the tree I was given.
Guys so much money to spend this week on the spiral and orchard. Please help us out.
