The veggie plot, that is
I normally grow veggies. Currently I have a small raised bed where I grow a small selection of our favourites. However, I have been a bit down-hearted over the last few years with our veg production - the old 'everything-comes-at-once' scenario and at a time when we are mainly eating salads. I have never been too good at growing salad crops - too many slugs and caterpillars for my liking.
However, I'm due to move house within the next couple of weeks and will have a much bigger garden. So for the new house, I'm going to try something different (for me) and lose the (veg) plot but gain a fruitarium (my new word)
I plan on growing small 'ballerina' type fruit trees - apple, pear, plum and cherry.
Rasperberry canes, blackcurrents, redcurrents.
Rhubarb and gooseberries
Blueberries (I like a challenge
)
Strawberries (naturally)
Grapes
Fig
And for a bit of variety - hazels and an almond.
Has anyone else a similar set up?
