Can't be for another six weeks at least, until Bill can take a turn at driving, though! I was thinking of a Zet/Shed meet/moot, and having a word with the Chaiman of the Parish Council about hiring the Scout 'Hut' - definitely a *VERY* grown-up shed - 'cos accommodation at Rusty Towers is minimal, if not minimalist. And it wooden bee for quite a while as the Rustyplot is hardly in a fit state to show people round. Have sent emu to Thornhayes Nursery (thank you, Sacha) - they have most of what I need, though no container-grown damson. Either I leave the order until the winter and get a bare-root jobbie, or take the apples, quince - and a medlar in lieu of the damson (or the bill won't be enough to trigger their carriage terms) and source the damson locally. I'll add a page to the wibble to record progress. That way, and keeping it updated, I really will have to get on with it innit. -- Rusty Direct reply to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co period uk Separator in search of a sig |

The message
from Sacha contains these words: Is this place anywhere near you? Ashill Fruit Farm Mr and Mrs Reed of Ashill Fruit Farm near Watton grow more than 40 varieties of apple, along with other fruits like pears, greengages, Damsons. They also create juice from their own apples. The Farm Shop also sells eggs, vegetables, honey and preserves. T 01760 440050 They make jam etc. from their fruit but they might be able to help you find a damson tree. Well, not too far, though cycling there would be a bit of a pull, not because of the distance, but (this might surprise some peeps) the route is quite precipitous in parts. The Est Anglian Heights are the tail-end of the Chilterns, and very knobbly they are too. But, ta, I'll investigate. -- Rusty Direct reply to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co period uk Separator in search of a sig |

The message
from Anne Jackson contains these words: The message from Rusty Hinge 2 contains these words: a medlar in lieu of the damson I've had to cut down several (seven or eight, to date) damson trees in the garden. They are growing in a straight line down the garden from the (ex) plum tree. They have tiny, sweet, dark fruit. They can only be coming from the rootstock. The latest one I've noticed springing up is at least 15' from the site of the (ex) plum tree. Aye, they do that, much in the manner of (un?)poplars. -- Rusty Direct reply to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co period uk Separator in search of a sig |
