The fearsome thorns of Citrus trifoliata will create a natural barrier to unwelcome visitors
There have been a few thefts on the plots lately. Nothing major, like the time when every shed was stripped, but plenty of little niggling things, like tools being chucked in the brook, stones thrown at greenhouses and plants uprooted – bored kids plus the school holidays equals trouble.
