I'm enjoying your channel. My partner and I have a rough plan of moving to scotland/highlands mayble, and starting a plant nursery. What I'd struggle with is if the summers were really cool, as I get seasonal affective disorder in Winter. I also love growing fruit, but its a bit limited what will grow well up there.
Thank you 🙂 summers can vary here, 2022 and 2023 we had 26-27°c and I grew outdoor tomatoes successfully. But then last summer was awful, it was 13°c and raining most of July which I found hard. But when it gets hot it's paradise 😊 Definitely depends what kind of fruit you want to grow, anything exotic and its a struggle but apples, pears, blueberries, etc the normal stuff grows ok. You might like the wild blaeberries we find in the forests , they are so sweet. My favorite fruit and unaffected by the weather fortunately. Best of luck if you decide to move, always need more plant nurseries 🫠
Might not be the place for you we get on average 150 days a year when it rains. Sometimes you get months of sunshine in the summer. Others cold and wet but uts a beautiful place. Come and spend the summer in Scotland first before you decide , but land is cheaper
@Mylifeinthehighlands Thanks for the reply. Yes last Summer I was checking the Scottish forecasts everyday, and thinking I would struggle if every year was like that, but it sounds like it was a bad year. I do like growing the exotic fruits, but don't mind growing them under glass, and growing easier things outside. Thanks for the info. 🙌🌿
@markfalconer8284 Thanks! Tbf I actually like the rain/snow, it's more just cold and grey. I'm hopefully visiting again this Summer, and also checking the forecasts there on a regular basis.
I love Inverness, it's such a nice wee city. The river walk is one of my favorite walks
Such a lovely walk. Nice city
Thank you for sharing. A nice bit of calm in my chaos.
@@karenrussell6095 thank you for watching, glad it's helped 🙂
The river often overflows and you get salmon swimming about the streets
@@markfalconer8284 wow, that would be some experience!
