The Wisteria is beautiful this year, only the second spring that it has flowered. Today has been the perfect spring day,, warm with little wind. I have planted out a new berry plot. I am not certain how much room they will take up? I plan to move them next Autumn over into the old vegetable garden. I am planning to make a more permanent support for them. In a program on Gardening Australia a few weeks ago a man in Tasmania showed how he plaits the canes together and secures them at the top with a garden tie. He commented that this method was once used by all the Tasmanian raspberry growers. I have planted thornless blackberries. raspberries, both summer and Autumn fruiting, young berries and loganberries, all the thornless varieties. I think you can tell I am not keen on picking berries from thorny branches! I have planted them all out in two rows as I will need to net the if we are to beat the birds to them.
