Great to read about everyone's garden's here so I thought I'd share some of this week gardening news from my side of the pond!!
Well I went to ISSA (Irish Seed Savers Association) to order 4 bare root apple trees for delivery this winter (M9 rootstock) and when I arrived there was a sale on just too good to miss:~) I came home with 3 trees that I hadn't quite planned on buying this year (over all, we want 12 in over the next few years).
3 year old potted Ard Cairn Russet (eater) (M26)
2 year old potted Glenstall abbey (cooker) (M106)
2 year old potted Keegan (eater) (M26)
All for the total sum of €31.50 :cool: that's a really good price (they normally retail at €25 each) & while slightly larger rootstocks have been gotten it means i can adjust the final amount of apple trees I need to plant.
In other news, I've gotten my onions in and on drying racks, I've started harvesting my cereal rye and I'm about 8 weeks left before first frost so I'm trying to figure out what fast crop I can get in the garden before then!!
Read a great post about people pickling so I'm going to give it a go ( I have bits of broccolli, cauliflowers, kale left). It'll be my first time trying that I'd love to have a go at piccallili!
Would love to hear some of everybody's favourite apple/fruit trees in their gardens?
