2nd December 2011 -The seedling emerges.
In October I took a trip to Boxley Church where our parents are buried to tidy the grave, as you do, and on the way back I collected chestnuts to take home. One, had a green shoot coming from the top, so I planted it in the pot I keep by my kitchen window for small plants and cuttings.
This is the result and so, here I am with another photo project - tracing the growth and hopefully the survival of the seedling to a sapling.
The idea is to pass on a strong Sweet Chestnut sapling to a garden where it can grow happily and eventually produce fruit (or nuts). Maybe I am nuts to think it possible
