Getting fruity...

We've been busy down the patch since returning from a short holiday in Spain.

A further row of onion sets have been planted, the gaps in the garlic have been filled with some Purple Wight bought from Homebase and the gaps in the shallots have been filled with some of the bulbs grown in the garden last year.

We  moved the raspberry canes from the garden and these were planted alongside the frame we built.  I am sure that these are Glen Clova, a summer fruiting variety.

Two Invicta gooseberry bushes were also moved from home and these were thinned out to produce two additional plants. However, we decided to plant only three of these green gooseberries and leave a space for the Hinnomaki Red bush that we have ordered.

This leaves us with space for a further four currant bushes and we will now be deciding which ones to plant.

Finally, I hammered in two posts at the top of the patch which will be wired to train the apples we have ordered.
