I have just manged to get my plot manageable when I began dreaming of a larger plot flourishing with fruit and vines. Dreaming of a beautiful fruit cage with ripe berries hidden away from the birds. With rows of soft fruit happily ripening in the sun! After all if I had another plot just for my fruit then that would open up more space for the veg that I want to grow on 151. So I am currently deliberating the crazy possibility of taking on another half a plot.
After discussing with Hubby his first response was how much will it cost? Then he smiled and agreed that I was crazy but he gave me the look of approval after I said £15 a year. It all depends wether I will actually be allowed one as if I am honest my plot isn't the best cultivated but I am getting there hopefully I will be ready by next year. We shall see. I like the idea of having some grapes growing. Also a peach tree and nectarine I think fans and espaliers would be best so I can utilise the space better. I have heard though that maybe the latter are difficult to grow in this climate.
Well it has been known that I like a challenge or two and after a while you will get to know me and realise I like nothing better then to test my self so why not add a little orchard. The only problem with inheriting fruit trees is that you may not know their name at least with buying them I can choose what ones I want. I have my eye on a variety called "Red Love" beautiful red apples which have red flesh and apparently the colour remains even after cooking!
