There were some overgrown strappy plants in front of the kitchen widow that were in need of some major pruning as they were covering up half of the front path. Looks much better now that they have been cut back.
I also got around to planting my Apple Tree. It's called Wild Granny and is grafted onto dwarf root stock. It should only grow to 2m tall and 2m wide. I have put in the narrow-ish bed in front of the house near the front door. I hope it takes off in spring and gives us some apples. It should, once fully grown, give us some shade too.
Apparently is was 'discovered' by someone on an Easter camping trip. The growers I got mine from have found that it is self pollinating. Great for those who have limited space as you don't need another apple near by to get your fruit.
It only has a short fruiting season - 2 months - but that will do for starters.
Now to get the Nashi Pear into the ground - oh and the Raspberries, the Loganberries and the Marionberry......
