Tuesday

Its been disappointingly chilly today and damp. The bees weren’t deterred though and besides enjoying the white & blue centaurea & cirsium, have been helping pollinate the raspberries - I’ve totally failed on the photography front when it comes to this so only a blurred image!

My soft fruit crop is looking promising with the blackcurrants forming and the blueberries are still blooming too. I will get a little gooseberry crop but nothing on the vast amounts I used to get from my poor battered bush. I drenched it again in rhubarb leaf spray again and hopefully will be able to apply the nematodes tomorrow evening when I come back from work.
