I now have an allotment

wow, what fantastic progress, I think if I had been faced with that my first lottie I'd have turned heals and run away!
you've done so much, well done

 

Thanks Shiney, but we are planning to see what grows where first and then prune back end of the season..we know at least one small tree needs moving (think its a Cherry) as its smothered by its neighbours. There are approx 11 trees and all are planted around 2-3 feet from each other, which seems a bit close to me, and most of them have stems coming from the base of the tree too. At the moment its very much a fruit hedge.

Well done Steve, looks amazing!!

Thats cool that you are/were a chef, my daughter is looking into that, she loves to cook, and there are some great training programs here, so we'll see.
