I must be mad!
« on: December 04, 2003, 17:45:15 »
Well, I got my first plot 2 weeks ago, and I have strimmed it, cleared and covered it up. Then the plot next to me became vacant yesterday and I could not resist having it as well   :o

It has a shed!
It also has 5 plum trees. Do I need to do anything to these trees? or just leave them alone.

Leave them alone - at least until you see how they perform next year.

Yes leave them-but do be careful,I got the same illness some years ago and ended up with 6 lotties. Still miss them even after 11 seasons :'(

I've got a plum tree in my garden which didn't fruit very well last year. I read somewhere recently that you need to add some compost in spring so I'm going to try that.

Are plum trees self fertile, or do they need friends to play with?

Depends what sort you get. Mine definately is. Check the label when purchasing.

Just got back from the doctors! He has prescribed anti-lottie pills, so hopefully I won't be tempted to take on any more plots!  ;D
