Our peach is looking suspiciously inanimate, but I'm not giving up on it for precisely that reason.
Meanwhile found that the garlic I'd given up on has appeared after all, ditto the sorrel.
I bought two apple trees and a peach tree that were "on offer" and planted them in large containers months ago. No signs of life yet - I reckon I was sold three dead tree stumps
. I was about to abandon all hope, but after this post RC, I might wait a bit more, just in case.
