jaceyWent fruit shopping with a vengeance this morning. Bought three apple trees (2 eaters, 1 Bramley for baking), 1 pear tree and a plum tree - all espalier trained to go next to the new fence which now divides the lawn from the vegetable garden (i.e. keeps the dog from digging up the nice soft earth in the raised beds). Delivery tomorrow. Ground already prepared.
Introduced dog to the new fence today. Over the weekend the fence was up but the gates (one at each end) weren't, so it didn't restrict him. Now, suddenly the gates are up and bolted and he can't quite work out why his world has shrunk. The top end of the garden is so exciting. It has grass sods which
Anyone here grow raspberries? Any tips? How thorny are they? Are they as bad as brambles to control? I love raspberries, but BB doesn't want anything that throws of suckers and spreads like the plague. From what i rmember of raspberries they're nowhere near as bad as blackberries in that respect. (And I don't actually like blackberries anyway.)
Going to grow some blackcurrants, too. Yum. My absolute favourite.
Debating the value of installing a greenhouse. What do you grow in yours?
