GWRS does Jostaberry taste more like the blackcurrant don't like the taste of gooseberrys
How is the plum tree - the one in garden think self seeded from next doors will get a winter wash hope it will help keep the bugs of it could not tree any fruit
thinking about a plum tree at allotment - can't remember the taste and can't find in shops
Gardengirl, only had 4 plums , but it is a start , winter wash all fruit trees and put black sticky stuff around base of trees , can't remember what it is called ?
O/H cooking very nice dinner then around to friends for a drink or 2
Yes, I also use glue/grease bands on my fruit trees GWRS, mainly to stop ants climbing them and 'farming' aphids. Here's to a productive year for everyone from me too.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
Thanks will use the winter wash and also grease band on the plum tree, mum managed to get plums from the shop so will try when ready
Got my cutting it is in a plant pot so I have time to figure out where to put it, also as mum likes gooseberry he offered her a cutting so now will have to find somewhere in the garden for that a yellow variety
Scroggin know what you mean about the weeding good to see when you have removed a lot of weeds
Hello , lovely sunny day but cold , just got back from plot
Dug a couple of beds ready for shallot planting next month
O/H finished planting garlic the first lot I put in is coming up nicely , sone pruning and harvested a few items , remembered the juruslem artickoes this time
Looks like a car had been dupped in car park , o/h phone police , not reported stolen so not bothered
Going into Lincoln tomorrow to Cinema so will go to Wilkinsons buy shallots and potatoes ?
Been to the allotment first trip of the year had a look around only a few bits of weed matting blown around but all still ok, some of my broad beans got black tips on
Spotted new sign for the allotment shop looks good
want to go to the allotment plot tomorrow - hope it stays sunny

I have been offered a jostaberry cutting cross between gooseberry and blackcurrant going to get tomorrow
Apple tree sound nice to get are you going to let her pick it out? red or green - you could go for a fan shaped one, remember January sales
Gardengirl, I have a jostaberry , they are very vigorous growers , you need to give it a good prune to get fruit , which makes very nice jam
Got 2 apple trees which are still small , 1 plum , 1 fig and 1 quince , planted this year 2 pear trees
Also have 2 patio apple trees
Strawberry , Rasberry & Gooseberrys are good croppers
Have a Happy New everybody

GWRS did you get anything from Wilkinsons?
