Check out Deacons on the Isle of Wight.......huge range of apples on various root stocks

Well, I will have to have a look at Deacons as Wyevale is selling them from £40 to £50. Mind you, I can go and have a look to see if any of my targets are reduced. Wyevale is a bit out of the way, so I will phone in advance.

Unwins seems to be very good, @Logan !

@alp Chris Bowers have a good selection of apple trees, with different rootstocks. We got our supercolumn apples from there. They're packaged up very well. Also they fruit early.

I am eyeing up some family trees eg 3 apples in a one tree. Sound good for a small garden! I will have a look.

@alp how are you feeling today? That's a great idea.

Was coughing last night with the itchy throat. Still have a bit of cough, but much better than yesterday. Fitfuls of sleep as I slept in the living room and kept hearing the dishwasher churning its water.

Thanks for asking .. Can't complain ..

What are you doing today? I need to put all the potted plants out to where they should be. At the moments, kitchen is full of plants ..

 

[Logan]

Glad that you feel a bit better.

Not much Gardening, there's a lot of chillies to be picked, more than i thought.Vacuuming, i might take up a pair of curtains in our bedroom, have to keep putting them behind the radiator when closing them. Don't know if i should put the fucshias and geraniums away from the hanging baskets, but they are sheltered.
