I don't hold out too much hope, but we had to give it a bit of a go. It is quite near to the house, so if it does flower and there is a frost, I shall rush pout with some sheeting.<br />GillFrugal in Derbyshire https://www.blogger.com/profile/10221169113482164565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-78077571762979857762014-02-23T11:59:40.656+00:002014-02-23T11:59:40.656+00:00They're mostly yellow fleshed Peaches.

I might plant a few so on the odd year where it misses the frost we'd get some. I might also plant some cordon apricots in the big greenhouse (when I get round to putting it up) as they'd take up little space and I love apricots.<br />I managed to harvest some peaches from a greenhouse at the house I was working at last year.
