I planted my dwarf weeping willow into a random spot in the garden about 3 weeks ago and am really hoping it will survive (read the story of it’s transplantation here). Well, it’s very hard to tell how it’s doing because clearly it’s Autumn and trees don’t always look their best at this time of year, but as you can see it is looking very sorry for itself 
However, the buds are still looking reasonably healthy and some of the pussy willows are actually coming out now so there may be hope for it yet … will keep my eye on it …
The baby oaks aren’t looking too hot either, but again it is Autumn. Am I being overly optimistic perhaps?
On a positive note, 7 of the home-harvested sweet pea seeds I planted have germinated and are doing very well on their sunny little windowsill so it’s not all doom and gloom on the plant front
