Default More on apricots

Following on from the recent thread of apricot growing on the IOW....

There was a short article on "Farming Today" this morning, with an
interview of a commercial grower of apricots in Kent. He expects to get
around 15 tons this year and wants to increase this to 200 tons. When
asked if he knew of any other growers, he said he thought that there
were a couple in the West Midlands, but didn't mention the IOW.

So it looks like it may be worth investigating apricots for a garden
crop, even if you don't have a warm wall to grow them against.
