Well since my partner is going to pretty much destroy the garden in the grand designs garage / workshop I already have in my wheelbarrow (online alas) waiting ....
1 x dwarf quince
1 x apple Sally
1 x cherry sunburst gisela
1 x champagne 1 x Victoria rhubarb
1 x lakemont grape
A selection of asparagus
1 x brown turkey fig
Which will go towards covering the brick work / second greenhouse that I have been assured will be put up once the major building work is finished.
Oh, not to mention the CHICKEN RUN he promised me almost two years ago.
I swear the seed catalogue companies are out to bankrupt me. Just received a catalgoue that offers an orange tree hardy to -4 degrees C. I've always wanted to grow citrus trees on my patio! Hmph.
Grape vine and fig arrived, but the fig was Brunswick, not Rouge de Bordeaux. The nursery offered to arrange for it to be sent back or to keep it at half price. I wanted to send it back, because really I don't have the space, but the thing was looking so forlorn that I didn't have the heart to put it through the post again. (How can a perfectly healthy plant look forlorn I don't understand, but it managed to do just that. Just as well it isn't a puppy or anything like that!) I considered giving it to someone, but it really needed to be repotted asap. So now I'll have two fig trees on my tiny patio. (No citrus trees, then! No space.) Oh well. I can always give one away later.
I've got several special rare strawberry plants that I could sell your friend, Verdun!
I'll have to keep the figs in pots in any case, because they'll be on my patio and that's paved over. It's also very sheltered, so they should be happy. The Brunswick should be hardier than the Rouge de Bordeaux, which was another reason I kept it. I'll wrap the pots in bubble wrap, just in case, and I've bought them plant cosies. (Come to think of it, I think your friend and I might have a lot in common!)
