Bit late posting today as I had to plant a bare-root Maraval sweet chestnut tree in a large 60x60x60cm container as soon as I got home from work, before it went dark. Took ages to fill with a mix of my clay soil, MP compost and JI No3, then had my dinner and fell asleep! Tomorrow's job when I get home is planting a Japanese Wineberry, a Jostaberry, a Lingonberry and a Worcesterberry!
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
I've got to find a bigger pot for my bay tree - it's very cramped indeed - so if I go the the GC at lunchtime I might get myself that thermometer too - if I remember!
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Bob-do Lingonberries grow well here? And I haven't heard of Jostaberry- can you enlighten me! Thanks Not sure I've actually heard of Worcesterberry either!
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Oh dear. Just finished an episode of Sleeper Cell and you're all off to bed. Will have to find someone else to chat to.
Yes Sam, I agree with you wholeheartedly about things as they are now. Different forum altogether.

Morning, early birds. Bob, your trees sound great. Are they all going into tubs or do you have a fruit garden?
Dove, I have a bay tree in a large pot. The trouble is, the larger the pot, the larger they grow!
