Garden

While I have other horticulture-related projects like Bonsai, I wanted to make a new one for my more general endeavours around permaculture and self-sufficient living. Some of these may be related to automation and electronics, not just horticulture, so I keep this general by calling it "garden", as those things will be localised there most likely. But I might rename this project!

Breaking ground

Every morning, I eat a green Granny Smith apple. This is not only my favourite apple, but probably the only apple I actually like. It would be amazing if I could do this self-sufficiently, 365 apples a year!

I'm delighted to announce that, as of a couple days ago, I'm the proud owner of a Granny Smith apple tree from an orchard in Norfolk.

My variety is a "mini" tree that grows to 180cm (so as tall as me) from the M27 stock, which is ideal for a small garden like mine and can be grown in a pot too. I also got a bunch of pots and soil for this and other exciting things I'll write about soon!
