Hello from a bit north of Manchester UK

Post: # 228390Post jillvegan »

Hi,
I'm new to forums, so will see if I get the hang of it!
I've converted my very small front garden to a kind of mini fruit forest, with cordon and espallier trees, some bushes, and plenty of strawberries as ground cover. hope to be organised enough this year to also interplant with some veg, but wanted to get fruit established first, as it's so delicious, but expensive.

Hi there and welcome :wave:
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Hello Jill

I'm from a bit further north of north of Manchester :wink:


Sounds like you have a bit of a plan with what your doing there.... I wish I had a clue what I'm doing this year.
