    Dear Doctor!

    Dear Doctor,
    I visited Aldi & £Stretcher this afternoon & picked up some lovely, Apricot, Gage & Pear trees. Also 2 Tayberry plants showing growth.....................then I put them all back..........................Am I coming down with something or is there a cure for this affliction?

      It sounds as if you are already cured of your plantaholic purchase syndrome.

      What treatment did you receive cos I could do with some

        The cure is a bigger garden or an allotment, or if you already have one, another allotment, or if you already have two allotments, a field.

        Endless wonder.

          I was on my own Dr Mom but I just kept asking myself where are you going to put them? & I could not answer myself.......it's scary.........

              I think it may come down to lack of confidence when it comes to growing fruit Dr Thelma. I'm not comfortable growing it at all.

                Dear Doctor, I have resisted temptation over the last week or so and have not visited an Aldi, Lidl or any £ shop. Today, the big blue sign of an Aldi winked at me, and my car took control, driving straight to the store and into the car park. I was powerless to resist. Reluctantly, I got out and headed towards the entrance where, to my horror there were lots of fruit trees in a big box. I tried to ignore them but again I was powerless. A few minutes later and I was inside the store, carrying a peach and a greengage tree. The peach tree was so big (at least 7') that it was knocking against the signs hanging from the ceiling I wondered why people were smirking at me but glancing back, I could see a trail of swinging signs.
                The checkout man wanted for £4.98 for them, but honesty got the better of me and I paid him £7.98 Next the challenge of fitting them into the car, into passenger seat footwell, resting on seat back, over rear seat and into boot.
                I have just carried them up 50 steps and I still don[t know where to plant them.
                Is there a cure or am I too far gone

                    Ifyer post don't get a reasonable answer, try telephoning the doc for advice. Should be cheap if you make a (tree)trunk call

                        I didn't have a problem until I joined the Vine. Now, every day, you place temptation on my laptop and I am led astray.........

                          BM ........I too was worried about where to plant them , but I thought what the hell and threw caution to the wind. Nicely bedded in now with a thick mulch to keep their tootsies warm and a stake to keep them in position .

                            I'm sure mother wouldn't mind me taking a bit of her garden..........the temptation is too great.
