Is there anything you dream of having in your garden that perhaps you don't have space/funds/time for? 

One day I will have silver birch/an apple tree and a fig tree :# 

Oh and a greenhouse  :dizzy: &  veggie patch  :#:#



I have a small cottage garden at the moment so don't have room for any of the above although sometimes I do toy with the idea of having a fig tree in a large pot but I don't suppose it'll be very happy stuck in a pot :/ **sigh** one day

    A big greenhouse and a pond and someone to do the bits of gardening that I don't fancy.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    We have a fig tree that's thriving in a pot! That's one of the reasons we bought it, as I believe some are particularly suited to pots. Ours is (the very common) brown turkey variety. "It is especially suited to containers due to its tolerance for heavy pruning, which in turn results in larger fruit crops."

    When do you prune it?

    It's more a question of what I dream of NOT having - cement mixers, piles of rubble, scaffold frames, diggers, rolls of pipe, heaps of concrete blocks and bags of cement.

    My dream would be for a different garden.

    Haven't done yet, as we've only had it a couple of years, and it's in a large pot... will have to research...
