    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 :)
    Oooh, what types ….? 😊

    KK
    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 hope :smiley:
    Oh lovely ☺️ 
    Growing up is meant to increase the volume of produce you can get from a space 😊

    Yes I hope so! I'm thinking of putting in some "vertical gardens" too (where you grow tiered rows of plants like a bookcase? I've forgotten what they're called :lol: ). Gardening is good! :smiley: x :)
