I've got nothing to show so far.
I'm feeling a little sad about it as the aim for this year was to have an abundance of home grown items.
Now on hold for next year.
We have a hazel nut tree, planted 9 years ago, it gives a few nuts every autumn but hasn't grown an inch in all that time.
In the past month we have planted 4 apple trees, 3 pear, a green gage, 2 plum, 2 damson, 4 cherry and a kiwi. We could do with another 5 or 6 trees and that will be the orchard pretty much stocked. I'm waiting for hubby to replace the fence and move it back a couple of feet, planning on having, mulberry, gooseberry, blueberry and raspberry bushes to make a hedge round the outside, ideally planted early spring.
Larger and faster growing (hopefully) hazel nut tree planted last week along with a sweet chestnut, on the lookout for more nut trees though total new trees are at 27 so at least I can say I'm doing a little bit for the environment as we have removed approximately 7 million conifers that were blocking out all the light.
Next job, over autumn is a greenhouse, I'm still looking for inspiration and I'm a complete novice, almost picked one up on eBay a couple of weeks ago, bog standard aluminium frame but I may push the boat out and go for something a bit nicer. Still looking for veg garden inspiration as well, there are so many rabbits they will need to be well raised, the area I want to cover will break the budget with railway sleepers, and may be a bit to harsh looking, bright ideas/ suggestions welcome!
For this year I need to make do with my strawberry plants and solitary blueberry bush that always gets ransacked by the birds before we get chance to pick them.
