My Trees from Space


About five years ago I had an allotment in the Suburbs of London, I would grow tomatoes and potatoes and make roast vegatable dinners. I gave up the plot of land because I was too busy and I moved out of London. I also planted dwarf trees for fruits. I left behind the dwarf trees because they were rooted in the ground, I left behind, a plum tree, two olive trees, a pear tree, a cherry tree, red current bush/tree and a fig tree. 
From time to time I look at my allotment from space to see if the trees are still there. I go into Google maps and pan over the allotment site then I set the terrain to satellite mode. On this shot I can't tell because the big tree has cast a shadow over my allotment and the image is fuzzy. My allotment was the last one to the right of the picture. 

Perhaps if they turn the allotment site into houses, the trees will still be there, they all had roots added that keep them small and cause them to self pollinate; they make their own fruits without other trees of the same species nearby.
