Our friends R and H, who moved to Suffolk full-time three years ago and show no signs of desiccating with boredom, have fruit trees in their garden. In fact, they have an orchard.
When we saw them recently they gave us sackfuls of their own home-grown apples: Egremont Russets and Lord Lambourns. Deeeelicious. They do taste different fresh from the tree, it's true. And they're not all the same size, and colour.
R and H grow all sorts of other tasties: beetroot, potatoes, carrots, onions, herbs, pears, raspberries - etc.
Herself's little face comes over all misty when she thinks about having a garden large enough for vegetable growing on this scale, so it is my duty to work very hard so that she can have one.
