Topic: Ideas for wasted space

probably not Bramleys then Robert as they are usually ready mid summer.  I will expect to pick first ones in about 6 weeks.

I'm doing a pond on my allotment and I thought for safety I'd bank it up rather than having it level or lower than the ground so that it can be seen and someone would have to climb up to get in it if you know what I mean.  Someone has given me an old gate from a church so I thought I might gate and fence it off for added safety.  I've got a big old plastic water tank which I thought I could use partially submerged.  I'll post a pic when it's underway.

Waggi,
check out the Seeds of Italy website.  There are a few truffle types apparently that can be grown in Northern Europe but I'm afraid the apple tree may not be much use as all the stuff I've dug up on truffles (pardon the pun) talks about fir, oak and hazelnut trees.  My bramley's not going to be much use then!  Lance
