Apple planting season / fruit bushes

A couple of years back my father-in-law gave me an apple tree for the allotment - got another one this year - Granny Smith:

Just went to plant it this morning - good apple planting weather as no need to water in (also known as: raining!) We don't have any tree stakes handy so made do with a couple of sturdy canes for support:

The tree was bare root, but had been in a pot for a few weeks - the roots looked healthy:

In other news the black currants are also doing well - buds there, but need to do some weeding and maybe mulch the area:
