I have been to aldi for my trees They won't get planted up for a month or so, so I'm going to leave them in their bags with some holes poked in them and will sit them in a bucket of water for half an hour once a week. I have 3 to be planted at chicken-ville amd 3 more in pots from last year to be planted at the other allotment. Add those to the two in pots in my garden - I'd better get something off them this year!

With the state of my knees Zoomer, so would I!
I have two of those seat/kneelers. Perfect! One permanently inside my greenhouse, and one wandering around the garden.

RG CBA means can't be ar*ed
Fruitcake which trees did you get?
You are making me want more fruit trees - may be next year they will have a good deal on similar
Weyplotter at least you can't get peach leaf curl
GWRS is an interesting way of buying seeds lots for this year
Roy have you planned what you will be growing?
GG I got 2 pears and a bramley apple. Of course I'm not expecting them to actually be that lol.
I now have 2 pears, 3 apples, 1 plum, 2 cherries and 1 apricot...
...I think!
Next doors cherry tree is getting nice fat buds and should start to look pretty soon with all the blossom
Fruitcake great choice of trees
