You should try some raspberry bushes or something in your new garden. They are low maintenance and great for the kids to snack on.Fionnualahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03504461649253641010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-339021866396501274.post-11468776178572124542015-09-18T17:35:57.144+02:002015-09-18T17:35:57.144+02:00Thanks Caro.

We gave our second one to our neighbours because it was in too shady a spot and it is flourishing in their garden.

Our poor little fig tree did SO badly this year. I can't wait to whip out the rogue lime tree that's taking over and replant it there.

I hate to see food go to waste when it could be eaten, even if it is growing wild rather than planted as a crop.<br />Thanks for popping by Lins.Fionnualahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03504461649253641010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-339021866396501274.post-50436821329701672582015-09-16T17:13:30.655+02:002015-09-16T17:13:30.655+02:00I love that everything has gone full circle and yo...I love that everything has gone full circle and you now have the space and climate to put the skills you learned to good use. The kiwis, that's just amazing!! Having just spent time at my aunt's house down in Devon where she has a glut of her own fruit I'm starting to realise that if I ever want to be the same I may have to give up on urban life... eek!

His parents have one, so we usually get some of their plums every year.<br />I have made sloe gin a few times.

I'm the first to admit I am not a gardener but we do have a couple of fruit trees in our new garden - plums and apples and I've been told we have a sloe bush too so I'm thinking of starting with that!
