A walnut tree, wow! How long do they take to come into bearing? There are a couple of mature walnuts in a heritage garden not far from here and I ate a couple of the nuts fresh off the tree once and they were astounding.
I've never had any luck with melons, they're pushing the envelope of what grows here anyway, though I had varieties that were tested in Wales which is even cooler and cloudier and wetter than here, but after about four years of trying I decided it wasn't going to work out.
I don't keep hens myself, but I look after my neighbour's hens a lot and I find that even when the days are shortest you get some eggs even if not as reliably as in summer.
