Got back from Albania this week and seen the tree for myself.. I'd forgotten we actually had two so it's confused me even more now I've seen that one has fruit and the other doesn't!! the condition of the leaves are both the same... they aren't that far from each other.. only about 6 metres or so aw...

lol... Oh to not be pregnant with a massive inconvienient bump! lol!

I've got my elderflowers in my pan with lemons and sugar... not sure how much sugar I just chucked a load in, lol... unfortunately it's been raining lately but I couldn't help it... I wanted elderflower cordial... now! lol... tho most of them haven't actually come out yet and I've only done a little...

ok... well hang them up somewhere they can't damage anything... let them go clear and then move them back to the veg plot, lol... or do they need the reflective bit to scare the birds?

Congratulations!!! My first was like that... we thought it's normal to take months even a year to concieve and we fell pregnant on the first go!!! (just to warn you... that's just beginners luck, pmsl... the next ones usually take longer like I'm pregant now, 19 weeks, and it took 3 years to get to ...

Wow, Odsox... that's a LOT of potatoes!! Mine are still too eeny weny to use yet (but then my garden always seems to be a few weeks behind everyone else!

My grandfather found an unexploded bomb in his garden, back in the days (the late 60s) - they practically evacuated the entire village to deal with it! Then again, when they moved in, the bathroom was full of strange plants....my grandpa asked a neighbour what the hell they were, and why they were ...

I'll have to have a look out for this one... wonder if my library might have it... An online friend of mine lived a year without money tho this sounds a bit different in that she's grown everything where as he foraged alot and used some waste he found in skips and stuff.

lol... when digging up the garden patch in my mum's garden we found lots of polly pockets (toys) and lego... all from when my brother used to kidnap them and bury them!! Mum found my old tricycle in what used to be the bramble patch... and a million tennis balls! In ours I found a little stone model...

Well it's holiday home to us but it's the permanent home for my inlaws. MIL said that it didn't even get flowers on or anything!! and it's not just the one tree but both and the manderin tree only had a couple of fruits last year. No one else around has lemon trees that I've noticed. Aunt-in-laws mi...

Happy anniversary... I think it's sweet! And since it's something that makes you happy far better that than he went out and bought something completely mindless and expensive!! But did you find anything tin?

I thought of the feeding so when my inlaws went back to Albania I gave my mil a bottle of citrus feed but unfortunately due to the airline messing up they left their luggage and it's still here!! When I go I'll be looking at the leaves (I have internet so can take pics if I find anything) I miss my ...

I was naughty and dug up a potato - need to wait another couple of weeks I think! :lol: But it has shown me that my spuds need watering so I suppose that was a good thing as it's the important time now. :roll: one of the kids balls damaged the potato plant so since there were was another very close...

Hi all... in our second home in Albania we have some lemon trees... to begin with they did really well and we had quite a few lemons... but last year we didn't have a single one... Anyone have any clue about them? When I go in July is there anything I should look for in terms of disease or something...

My garden is always behind everyone elses for some reason so the only thing I can harvest is lettuces or some eeny weeny baby potatoes.

Tho in the wild I'm harvesting the elderflowers.
