Fruit trees




Here's a few peaches from my orchard,the skin's a bit chewy but they're lovely tasting and nice and sweet,even better when you consider that there's no chemicals on them,they're grown with the sun,watered by the rain and helped with a bit of farmyard manure

Do you know where I ate the best peaches I've ever tasted-in north Wales-they were grown against a south facing wall on the Great Orme in Llandudno,no reason why they shouldn't grow in Britain

They look lovely froggyfagan.
So fcuking jealous of people with the facilities to grow fruit and veg. I've been working with the clayest of clay infertile soil in my shitty tiny little council garden and growing things in pots. Lat year my courgettes caught some mystery disease, and my tomatos did too. Terrible weather too. Got a few bunches of rocket, some beetroot and some spinach out of the whole growing season and all my effort.  Just gutted like because I'm a good gardner and I really love growing veg. Its actually depressing! Ah well I suppose I'll just have to buy a few acres in S. Canada!

Enjoy them peaches ya jammy bastid!

How do you keep the starlings from getting all the ripe ones Fraggan?

Use a carabine de jardin or..... overhere I shoot them with the airrifle, but to no great succes   When I shoort one, a hundred come to the funeral....

It's very rare to see a starling here,we're way out in the country,I worry more about the jays,but for some reason (perhaps because of the abundance of wild cherries this year) they haven't been near.
However there's lots of plums this year,I'll have to protect them or they'll be decimated,I can only put plastic/nylon netting over the smaller trees

OOOOH, SWEET Dreams of Eau de Vie,     one of the best drinks one can get in La douce France.  

Cheers

The oldest "eau de vie"I have,dates from 1983,I also have 1993 and 1996 (plums are abundant about every three years) the'83 is kept especially for guests but unfortunately is almost finished;
For those of you who've never tasted it,it's an alcohol distilled from plums and is quite lethal,my dad called it 'Tigers milk'
