Garden Goodies!

A couple of years ago M & I spent a lovely couple of days with Margaret & Alfie at Oldfarm – and upon leaving, Margaret gifted me a number of raspberry canes.

Now – Im not much of a gardener, but I like to give things ago. And adore the idea of successfully growing a number if yummies. So on our return home, we dutifully planted and watered our canes to help them settle in.

Last year – we saw a number of small berries – but whether or not they ever matured shall remain a mystery, as some feathered creatures got to them before we did!

But this year something magical has happened……

My raspberry plant exploded! To the untrained eye, this may look like a very scruffy section of our cottage garden, just to the right of my front door….. however I think you shall find that this is my raspberry & blackberry farm! All the sunshine seems to have helped my canes along, and now I can see many, many potential raspberries – & my blackberry brambles are flowering pretty well too 😀

Fingers crossed for a bountiful harvest – and one collected before too many become treats for the feathered friends!

Do you grow edibles in your garden? What do you find the easiest, with the best return of happiness?
