We did miss a lot during the 2 weeks I had a painful back though.

My late grandmother used to put net curtains over the berries once they had set but the blackbirds used to sneak underneath and help themselves. <br /><br />I think the mark of good customer service is how they deal with things when stuff goes wrong.

I have some blackcurrants to go in too - in tiny pots from Morrisons. Slapped wrist they have been languishing outside the door all winter! I was NOT in the mood for gardening last year - I did what I could in the top paddock and established a long herbaceous border and planted all my roses and some stuff up on the bank, but the WEEDS really need sorting out and aas it was mild, I was out there yesterday.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-35619120431322881712022-01-12T09:16:06.359+00:002022-01-12T09:16:06.359+00:00There's nothing quite so nice as fresh picked ...There's nothing quite so nice as fresh picked raspberries; they're a flavour made in heaven, I think.<br />xxJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116524003944939298noreply@blogger.com
