Unfortunately, because of our cool &amp; rainy climate, they are not easy to grow here. I&#8217;ve decided to give it a try anyway and to give the trees the best chance of success, we&#8217;re planting them in a warm sheltered microclimate between our pond and our hugelbed. We&#8217;ve also sought out a specialized nursery and asked their advice on best disease-resistant varieties. The apricot we chose is &#8216;Kyoto&#8217; and peach is the leaf curl resistant &#8216;Avalon Pride&#8217;. Fingers crossed, we&#8217;ll be enjoying some beautiful blossom and harvesting delicious fruits in a few years time.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6085\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.growntocook.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/sized_0O3A0127.jpg?resize=500%2C667&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.growntocook.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/sized_0O3A0127.jpg?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.growntocook.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/sized_0O3A0127.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.growntocook.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/sized_0O3A0127.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.growntocook.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/sized_0O3A0127.jpg?resize=560%2C747&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.growntocook.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/sized_0O3A0127.jpg?resize=260%2C347&amp;ssl=1 260w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.growntocook.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/sized_0O3A0127.jpg?resize=160%2C213&amp;ssl=1 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6094\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.growntocook.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/sized_0O3A0031.jpg?resize=800%2C533&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.growntocook.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/sized_0O3A0031.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.growntocook.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/sized_0O3A0031.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.growntocook.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/sized_0O3A0031.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.growntocook.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/sized_0O3A0031.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.growntocook.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/sized_0O3A0031.jpg?resize=560%2C373&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.growntocook.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/sized_0O3A0031.jpg?resize=260%2C173&amp;ssl=1 260w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.growntocook.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/sized_0O3A0031.jpg?resize=160%2C107&amp;ssl=1 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s the highlights from this month &#8211; what are you up to in your gardens?
