    Evening all,
    A moment of your time if I may.

    As you may have read on my blogs over the last few weeks, we have decided to grow our own fruit this year.

    Our collection seems to be growing:
    2 x Redcurrant
    2 x Blueberry
    1x Tayberry
    1 x Bramley Apple
    1 x Elstar Apple
    1 x Victoria Plum
    1 x Conference Pear
    2 x Gooseberry

    What I'm after is some recommendations on reading matter - i do love a bit of research!

    What I dont want to do is throw my hard earnt away, so any pointers here before I buy would be appreciated.

    I checked the local library, but hardly any on the shelves, and so many in the catalogue's for ordering in, I dont know where to start.

    Look forward to hearing from you, and look forward to your visits to my blogs.

    Hi Okatrine,

    I think you'll do very well, I am oly a newbie to veg growing but have grown fruit bushes for ages-and I hasten to add, they grow despite of what I do rather than because of what I do lol.

    Looking forward to see your progress.
