Ooh, you're the first person to actually call it an orcard - but of course, that's exactly what it is now.

(Feels smug.)

Good luck with your grapes and melons. I suppose I might be able to grow melons under glass, but if they don't get enough sun the sugars don't develop, so they? And there's nothing worse than a watery melon.

I think the greenhouse might have to wait for another year. The fence and the fruit trees cost us a fall smortune and another 400 quid for a glass house for few tomato plants seems a bit daft right now. I have a few dog-safe windowsills (Upstairs) and some plum and salad-tomato seeds. I'd get one of those lightweight plastic mini greenhouses but the wind's a bit fierce round here - even in summer.

Yeah, digging clay. Ouch! Our topsoilk is quite nice - but it's thin and then we're into rocky, sandy stuff with big chunks of millstone grit embedded in it. It may be close to bedrock There's a reason why we have dry stone walls in this part of Yorkshire. Of course it may also be builder's rubble from 200 years ago.
