Allotment inventory for 2016

Allotment inventory for 2016
So let's have an inventory of useful plants growing on the allotment and seed ready to be sown.
I will probably forget something but, if I do remember it, I will put it in later.

All the apple trees cropped really well in 2015
Apple tree 'Discovery' A cheap tree I got for £5.
Apple tree ' Egremont Russet' espalier - a cheap tree I got for £5.
Apple tree 'Ribston Pippn' espalier - two. Grafted myself onto M9 rootstock
'Golden Reinette' (1600) One tree espaliered.
'Pitmaston Pineapple'(1561) Got three trees well grafted.  Not too sure whether to keep all three or graft over to something else.  All being espaliered
'King of the Pippins'(1770s) Two trees espaliered
Four root stock budded to Cox's Orange Pippin.  Fairly sure I don't want all of these so I will use three of them to graft to something else.
'Court Pendu Plat' (1613) One tree with two grafts that have taken.  Espaliered
Two apple trees that I can't identify but crop very well; one is an espalier and the other a small standard tree.

 Ten M26 rootstock .
Apple tree sions
"Bardsey"
"Coeur de Boeuf"
"Elis Bitter"
"Sturmer Pippin"
"Christmas Pearmain"
"Mosses Seedling"
"Claygate Pearmain"
"Court of Wick"
"Gala"
"Kidd's Orange"
Grafting these early March. They will all be espaliered if the grafts take.

Last year's graftings. I planted out the apples grafted on the 23rd March 2015 on the 29th December 2015:  these were:
'Norfolk Royal' (1905) Stepped on this and broke the graft!!! Getting another scion this year to try again.
'Sturmer Pippin' (1800s) The graft did not take and I lost this one. Getting another one this year and tying again. 
'Blenheim Orange' (1740) Graft did not take. 

Other scions that I might try:
Claygate Pearman
May Queen
James Grieve
Norfolk Royal
Queen Cox
Devonshire Quarrendon
Orleans Reinette
Winter King.
Elison's Orange.
