My first garden!

• It's worth noting that growing a single apple tree might not give fruit if it isn't pollinated by another apple tree from the same flowering group. If a nearby neighbour has an Apple tree from the same group, that should be ok. If not, you need to think about getting another.

 

I'm hoping I've understood this correctly... I purposely bought self-fertile treees to avoid the need for pollination with other trees.

 

Ahh, ok. I had heard that these can give differing results, but don't know enough about them to say one way or another. I dare say we have a few members here that could add more.

 

The impression I've got is that they produce fruit without similar trees nearby, but would give more fruit with other trees around. Other than that, I'm pretty new to the whole thing. Depending on how the garden pans out, I may get another set.

For now, I'm going to wait and let my debit card cool down. It screams every time I pull it out of my wallet lately.

 

Oh nooooooooo


Not the Asparagus again

 

So I'm a " good and rare " thing then cuz I'm sooooo innocent

 

I think you've made the right decision with the Honeysuckle Rad.

I love the sound of all those fruit trees and bushes, no blackcurrants or raspberries though

 

Err........?

Bananas..... Euphemism, double entendre

 

Feeling like Alice in Wonderland tumbling down the rabbit hole here. I have absolutely no idea what so ever. Don't tell me though... I'm laughing at my own confusion now

I love the idea of a useful garden Lots of fruit, veggies, herbs and eventually I'll have some chickens Not in this garden though. They will be in my next garden... My Final House

Raspberries - I'm looking into it. Still in the research phase.
Blackcurrants - I hadnt even thought of that! Could be a nice addition to the garden

For the record, have you come across Pineberries or Framberries before?

 

@Anthony Rogers yes it's the asparagus! I can't get it out of my mind! I'm scared for life!

 

@Radiation91.....chickens? You need chickens they are just gorgeous , they are hilarious to watch, really friendly, quite easy to look after & then they give you a yummy egg . I can't wait for you to move to your final house
I have Autumn bliss Raspberries & black currents from our lovely Zigs & also from a friend who somehow managed to blag some from a farmer who supplies Ribena! Both are really good to have, my raspberries are full of flavour & the black currents are yummy & good to freeze

 

Sorry, I've never heard of either of those

 

Hi Beckie,

Remember Rad is an innocent young man ( so he says )

You don't want to be known as GC's " Mistress of Corruption " do ya

 

@Anthony Rogers I think I'd rather like that! 'Beckie the Mistress of Corruption on GC' sounds good!!! Ok I shall be very careful with Rad in future! I do want to make him blush!
