COMMENTS FROM THE POTTING
Jim No I didn’t time to visit any places like that when I was walking also I would probably have got thrown out as I was like a mobile bog most of the time. Haddon Hall is a place I visited once, its near to my home village.
Jeanette Next year if I can get a few more fruit on the tree (More than my boss can easily count) I will be trying one or two for myself you can be sure.

I must say, I really like how you structure your blog posts with the daily photo, work journal, and notes. I think it works very well. I had often wondered, when I passed through such places on my travels, what it would be like to be a gardener at a beautiful estate . . . now I know! How many gardeners work at Haddon Hall, or is it just you?
Fireweedmeadow The Apricots are grown in the conservatory so are protected from the worst of the elements although by all accounts they can be grown outdoors, especially if you have a warm wall to grow them against, you would have to protect the early blossom against any frost though. When I get the peach tree it will go against a warm wall outdoors as they are a touch hardier I believe. I’m glad you find my blog good to navigate. I do it this way then if you just prefer to read what I’ve been doing, maybe as a reference to what you could be doing in your own garden, or if you leave a comment and want to find what me answer is it’s easy to find without having to wade through a load of words that don’t really interest you or don’t have time for. As for how many gardens I work with there is just me and my Tommy who tends to be a bit of a part timer and also as you will see from the notes above I don’t garden at Haddon Hall but at a different big house. I can’t say where or give details as its privately owned so I am limited to pictures of my work rather than showing off the gardens or property.
