Fruit Trees & bushes


As our building plot ("site" in the local parlance) was long and relatively thin, we set about dividing it across it's width early on. I had seeded the whole lot with lawn seed and we maintain the near end as soccer pitch, trampoline arena and more conventional garden. However, erect a structure such as a fence and you have a new planting opportunity. We have fruit trees on the side nearest the house and fruit bushes on the far side (the wild area and vegetable growing & pond area.

Here's a photo of blossom from last week. It might be cherry or apple or pear.
