When it came to Christmas cards this year, I couldn't resist drawing my feathered friend in the garden, who has followed me faithfully as I rake the grass.
We have not even reached the 25th yet, but two perfect gardening gifts have already been given to me - a beautiful tamper and handy dibber!
The family already has a tree but, for future reference, I'll make a note of the different species:
Abies fraseri ("Fraser Fir"): Good needle-holding, fragrance, shape.
Abies koreana ("Korean Fir"): Good needle-holding, dark curling needles.
Abies nordmanniana ("Nordmann Fir"): V good needle-holding, dark. Expensive.
Picea abies ("Norway Spruce"): Traditional. Poor needle-holding, fragrance.
Picea pungens ("Blue Spruce"): Fair needle-holding, blue and prickly.
