Start of the orchard

 Next year when Tony retires we are considering moving to a small bungalow with a large garden. I want to grow even more veggies and if we can find a place with a big enough garden we will create a mini orchard. For this reason I have put the fruit trees that arrived today into big pots. It means we can pick them up and move them with no disturbance to the roots.


In the meantime they can sit in their pots and get their roots established
