Well I had this idea to grow veg and fruit this year, I get it every year, but this year I picked up my books I got a few years ago, looked at the huge garden I have as I read an article by carol klein and thought "ok lets get too it", I dug up the garden and wished I had got a rotavator instead of a branded spade, sat down then went to the garden centre where I purchased 2 pear trees, 1 apple tree ( next door has two so pollination was not a concern, and a marjories seedling plum, I threw them in the ground then sat back down with a cup of tea and read GYO ( all my back issues ) a few other mags, and a book or so, I then realised I was in for a hiding to nothing with every pest and disease I read about, I mean lets face it theres more of them than me, and so I give up. It was nice knowing you all. I quit!.
Incidentally if any of you lot are from the magazine I have a real bugbear with you guys, I like looking at piccies in the mag, I like to spot what I think I have, when I see a pic of something interesting I look down, and guess what.....NO caption or description of what I am looking at, I mean come on you al m,ay know what it is in the pic, but many newbies have no idea what their looking at. So can you please put descriptions of that pea or bean or such at the bottom of the piccie..........

Welcome on your first and possibly last post momo. 
Hopefully your fruit trees will take and you will have fruit for years to come..............with no problems at all!
