Hi Weavie
Yes, I already have a fantastic sweet cherry tree. It is always completely loaded so I keep everyone in cherries - before the birds take them. I also have a blackcurrant bush and a thornless blackberry which also fruit very well. The berries from both bushes were huge last year & I still have a freezer full. I have a plum tree, which used to fruit well but is looking very sorry for itself of late, and a pear tree which fruits well but I can never sort out when I need to pick them and how to store them! I also have a fig in a pot, which is a bit hit and miss and the fruit isn't very big. We have just cut down an apple tree as it was int he way and the fruit was tasteless. Just trying to figure out where I can put another type of apple tree....
I really want to plant raspberries, blueberries and strawberries this year and something to go up a wall - either a grape vine or kiwi fruit. And son no. 2 wants to try to grow a melon in the greenhouse - doubt that we shall succeed but we'll have a go.

Gosh - didn't realise I was so much of a fruit grower!

I'm not too far away from Wisley - in Staines. A friend and I had been thinking about attending a course or two there next year (when both our sets of twins will be at full time school).

Perhaps we can swop some seedlings/cuttings etc in due course.

Are you thinking of having a go at squash?
