In loving memory
Are fruit trees dedicated to late people in public spaces a good idea and who can pick and eat the fruit?
Raw energy
Back to Aurillac for a few days at the end of April. Oranges and greens in cold winds.
Jardins de Suisse
How well are fruit trees taken care of in Switzerland?
I took advantage of a week in the canton of Fribourg and around Vevey on Lake Geneva to have a look. Here are a few captioned pictures taken during my trip.
Some progress
The garden of Aurillac is still hardly taken care of. However, there is progress in the garden of Saint Simon.
Pruning: when and why?
Apples, pears and stone fruit such as plums and cherries are pruned at different times of year. Although many people don’t do it, it brings great benefits, and is quite an enjoyable activity.
Easy planting
Planting fruit trees requires much less effort than growing vegetables. And a tree grows faster than we think! Planet carers and home-grown fruit lovers, here are some easy tips for you.
Back to the jungle
In contrast with « le jardin de Saint Simon », « le jardin d’Aurillac » is in poor condition, for lack of proper care. Will it stay like that ?
Good harvesting
We picked apples in « le jardin de Saint Simon » yesterday. We look at what we did well and could have done better, and provide a link for further guidance on when and how to harvest all kinds of garden fruit.
Tree size matters
Thinking about who is going to harvest may help choose the right size of tree when planting.
