Your contribution is still much appreciated, Jim. I look forward to seeing what you came up with! If you didn’t write about your apple espalier in this one, I’ll have to dig up the post you did for the walls and fences workshop; that was a good one too.

That's not so far away from me. Did you know there was a fire there last week? It destroyed their greenhouses - which is where they were storing all their tender tropicals for the winter. It's very sad. <em>That's terrible news, VP. Sad indeed for the gardeners who have nurtured those plants, and for the visitors who have enjoyed seeing them. -Nan</em> BTW I see you have the Abbey House Gardens on your garden list.

That’s terrible news, VP. Sad indeed for the gardeners who have nurtured those plants, and for the visitors who have enjoyed seeing them.

It's been on my list of things to post, but ran out of time before we went away. I suspect most people have edibles incorporated already without really realsing it. How many of us have a sage or rosemary tucked in the border somewhere because it's both a good plant to have and is good for cooking? Not forgetting lavender, nasturtiums, thyme etc etc. Then if you're going to have trees in your garden, an apple or cherry is a good choice. There's also cottage gardening to consider which has the incorporation of edibles and flowers at the heart of its style. I could go on and probably will do - but it'll have to be in a post outside the GBDW set :( <em>Come back anytime and leave a specific link if you like, VP. But it's also appropriate to link to your <a href="http://vegplotting.blogspot.com/search/label/Fruit%20n%20Veg" rel="nofollow">fruit and veg</a> and <a href="http://vegplotting.blogspot.com/search/label/Allotment" rel="nofollow">allotment </a>posts, since you already have plenty of archived posts on the subject.
