I'm not really the green fingered type, much as I'd like to be. I'm always envious of those who manage to grow so much of their own food.
I don't have very much space outside and anything I attempt to grow inside is very quickly decimated by feline attack.
A few years ago, I bought a raspberry bush from the pound shop for.......£1. I haven't really given it much attention and after last years crop yielded precisely 3 raspberries, I sort of ignored it.
Well this year is different - it's spread, is growing terrifically and is positively dripping with raspberries. I've popped out several times now with a little bowl to reap the fruits of my non-existent labour.
With supermarket organic raspberries costing almost £17 a kilo, I think my £1 investment was well spent, even if I have had to wait a long time for a return.
Who knows, next year, I might get even more productive. meanwhile there's foraging to look forward to!
That's great! I love rasberries but always find the incredible price in the supermarket a bit tough to swallow... Jx

ReplyDeleteI have blackberries in my garden-they are so good! Be sure to cut your bush back a bit at the end of season. You'll have twice as many next summer. Enjoy!
