garden fruits

[JUDWAK]

any of you lot into ya gardening
iam wondering what fruits ya grow
iam in the middle of doing my whole back garden
and anything that good to eat is going in there

so any ideas on whats good
i have a few ideas but just wondered if any of you have already done this

[tonupteabag]

well we've got an apple tree, not sure what sort of apple tree it is, its only about 5ft 6" tall and the apples it produces are edible depending on how much water it's had while it's been growing it's fruit.

[JUDWAK]

i have an apple tree i grew it from seed its a french pipin
its 2 years old
i had it on the front garden but some kids kicked a ball its way and it broke
so i potted it up and it still lives on no friut yet its way to young
its said that a french pipin wont grow in yorkshire it is for now
i have bilberry bushs and gooseberry i hate gooseberry but it was my mums so i keep it all the same
iam after has many friuts i can get my hands on
it brings birds to the garden

nice one! to be honest i'm no gardner if i had my way i would dig an inspection pit kit it out with outdoor lighting and some form of drainage then once i've got it the way i want then i'd have the whole lot concreted and just have pot plants instead
Anyhow my neighbour has a pear tree, apple tree, grapes and strawberries and he gets a good yeild off the strawberries and the fruit trees are starting to produce as well all with no real tending.

i was in to gardening in a big way
its been of intrest to me since i can remember my grandad had a small farm he called it a ranch
he help feed rotherham through ww2
after the counsel take over the land for a school field
he grew everything on his back garden
he learnt me alsorts
its stuck with me ever since
so i know whats what with plants trees and bushs
my garden will be like you said in the above
but not potted plants just holes were they grow
my garden will be water and trees with a bridge to get to my shed
all i have to do is clip mi trees and bushes every few years

suits me
but with me been ill i can only eat fresh and pure or i get ill
so iam going to plant only what i and the birds can eat

i was wondering what other taste people have out there ya never know i may find something i never tryed out

[tonupteabag]

aye i'm disabled now so i don't really do anything with the garden all i do now is grow potted plants indoor and the wife takes care of the mowing but she is terrible at trying to grow anything it most often ends up dying due to lack of water or she goes the other way and drowns the poor buggers

[JUDWAK]

ever throught of have some raised beds in for your self
if you put them at a hight thats good for you
if you need wheel chair access it can be made to suit
i did all this when i was gardening
so i know it can be done
lay a hose pip so they feed them selfs you can get timers and everything these days

[JUDWAK]

if you lived closer i would get my friends to sort it out for you
shame you dont live in yorkshire

Hey Jud
Have a look into Mulberries. they are like a cross between raspberries and blackberries and feckin huge.

the bushes can grow into trees.

Keep away from the house/shed /paths as they stain like a very stainy thing.

Gooseberries are good, excellent crop and very easy to grow, but a bit of a pain to pick. Same goes for raspberries. This is a good time of year to plant both in order to get a crop next summer.

If you're into veg, brussels sprouts, leaks and beetroot are all easy and high-cropping.

.

I'd second raspberries,and blackberries too. We planted a dozen canes of each last year,and had a good crôp of raspberries,and the blackberries have gone nuts and we're still picking them!!!
We are a bit further south than you though!!!
Corn on the cob is easy to grow and good fun,6 foot high and more!!
Beetroot is easy,my kids grew loads this year,and good old cougettes,but don't plant too many,you will end up sick of them.

Happy Gardening
