My daughter went to Lidl at the weekend and bought seven fruit trees for a fiver each. The expert - my mom - has looked them over and given them all her seal of approval - Bargain !!

They planted them all today - in the lovely sunshine. The kids have named them all - bit like the Cluedo game.

So - off to Lidl you go if you want any bargain fruit trees. I did say to Lisa - do you have any idea how big they'll grow and she said that's OK - we'll have moved by then :wink:

Can take a couple of years for fruit trees to settle in before they fruit, but sometimes with a bit of tlc you can be lucky :wink:

When we get around to sorting our garden, I would like a Cox's Orange Pippen, and some other fruit trees, maybe a damson tree. But I don't want so much that we can't eat it all!
I would like to train the trees too, so I can reach all the fruit, but we'll see!

For now, I'd be happy to see some of those bulbs showing their heads :-)
