a variety of apple called LAXTONS SUPERB trained in an espalier form is excellent on an allotment
I want to plant from fruit trees on my allotment. I don't really want a massive crop of any type but I'd prefer really tasty varieties from the following;
plums
apples
pears
green gages
figs
Will somebody please point me in the right direction.

Still worried I decided to lift one of the smallest plants which appeared to have grown very little. WOW, what a pleasant surprise. The bulbs were below the surface of the soil and are huge. Lets hope that yours also do well.
Thanks Paul, I'll follow your advice and see what happens.
Katie,
Thanks for the info. Since posting my original request for assistance I have noticed that the based of the plnts is begining to widen just as though the bulbs are staring to form. I'll take Pauls advice and lop off the flower spiks and see wh…
Hi Mielie,
Don't worry as soon as the flower spikes appear cut them off and the Garlic will continue to grow.

I planted garlic last spring, they came up like spring onions then just dissapeared I planted more in the autum and again in the spring (I really love garlic and was determind!). Before I could dig over the patch from last year its started to grow a…
One of my plants started to turn yellow so I decided to take it out to take a look. It had statred to rot and reeked to high heaven. 'Just hope that the others won't follow but I have little hope.
I've got no advice at all but am simply here to add my voice to yours. The garlic that I planted in November is just bolting and seems to be about to put on a flower show. This is only nice, I understand, if you like the flowers but aren't at all bo…
Your idea sounds really great. i am going to try it next time around. So fa my potatoes are ding really well. As they shove up through the surface I have continually topped up the level of compost/soil mix. I'll just have to wait and see what comes…
Hey Stue'y, you can never overdo it.
If you have the space then use it. Just as long as nothing goes to waste. If you have a bumper crop then you'll have loads of fresh veggies and loads of friends. If you have too little you'll go hungry and have…
Lovely shot. You have captured the warmth and beauty of the flower.
I planted some mammoth garlic in November. It has grown really well but it seems as though it is about to go to seed. Is this right? The cloves haven't started to form yet, also it is supposed to be ready in 3 months time in August.
I have just done something similar. I made a 4ft square raised bed made from an old scaffolding batten, with 2x2 timber post in 2 corners. took the 2" turf/weeds off the top, put a little seived soil in and added my potatoes and soil. As they sprout…
i never heard of this before now! potatoes in a bag, what a neat idea! usually what i do for potatos every year is to find someone i know that doesn't mind parting with a couple of bales of hay, about 4 to 5 of them. i place them at the edges of the…
Hi,
I left mine for a few weeks after the flowers died and they were fine.

I've found the instructions and will get my husband or my son (technical guys) to scan this and forward details tomorrow. The other option (less technical and therefore doable by me) is to email me your address and I can post you a copy.
