Oh lovely ☺️cathybird said:
A Stella cherry (for out the front, where there is some space), and an Isaac Newton apple and Beurre Hardy pear (both cordons, so very small) for out the back. I have had an allotment for years but this year I realised I probably could squirrel quite a lot of fruit & veg into the garden at home despite the limited size and I decided to do that instead to save time and work. I have also transplanted some of the rhubarb crowns and gooseberry bushes, so lots of nice things still to grow I hopeKajiKita said:
Oooh, what types ….? 😊cathybird said:Not one for me, bought three fruit trees for the garden (very small ones!). Wishing everyone a happy new year for tonight and 2024 xx
