FRUIT GARDEN
Yesterday an exciting parcel arrived. The unprepossessing box contained 3 gooseberry bushes, 6 raspberry canes, 2 blueberry bushes and 12 strawberry plants...
Had a simply wonderful time outside getting them all settled. I already knew where I wanted the raspberry canes as there is a long bed at the bottom of the veg patch that I have earmarked for raspberries, globe artichokes and, possibly, asparagus.
The gooseberry bushes were destined for the rhubarb patch; a bit of a squeeze but there are posts in place so that netting can be added when needed.
The greenhouse is beginning to take shape with shelving salvaged from all over the garden. so the strawberries and blueberries went in there. For now. Later I plan to put the strawbs in the guttering on the side of the shed. The blueberries may end up in pots.
The ingenious device for taking the hose over the path. I intend to get a water butt to collect the rain from the sheds but this does the job of delivering water down to my growing veg patch until then.
