This week we went to the largest local garden centre to choose two apple trees for our back garden. What a difference. Last time, as resourceful allotmenteers we purchased a Bramley from Woolworths for a tenner and an unspecified 'rescue' tree from a reduced bin in a superstore which turned out to be my lovely Grenadier. This time, assisted by some garden tokens from my aunt, we went for Discovery (eater) and Scots Bridget a dual purpose eater/cooker. We spent money. Not only that, we also purchased the correct compost and took advice.
My husband quickly dug two holes in the lawn and planted them, with some home-made stakes before snow swept the north west. Now they look as if they have always been there.
