Space saving ideas.
Posted by: Neffa - 19-05-2020, 04:23 PM - Replies (13)

Like many people I don’t have much space in my tiny garden for my fruit and veg. 
I thought I’d show a few of my ideas in the hope that it’s gives others a bit of inspiration or encourages them to share their ideas.

The tatties are Charlottes and one per pot. I was pleasantly surprised how many a small pot can hold. 
The shoe storage things have sugar snap peas in because I’m a great believer in what grows up will also grow down. 
The hanging baskets are mixed spicy leaf and mini gem lettuce in one and spinach and radish in the other two.


I promise they are the right way up if you click on the pics.

  Pruning Prunus
Posted by: Granny Aching - 19-05-2020, 10:45 AM - Replies (11)

I have three trees, Plum, Damson and Greengage. They are in desperate need of pruning to open them up and the Victoria especially is spreading too wide. According to my book, they should not be prunes over winter for fear of infection but should be pruned in the Spring/Summer when they are growing vigorously. The trouble is, if I do them then (now), I risk losing any of the few fruit they might have set. Is this just a bullet I'm going to have to bite?

I’m try a chive flower & cider vinegar. 
Apparently it’s fantastic on your chips and it tastes like the vinegar from your pickled onions. No harm in giving it a try.
And it looks pretty.
