Even though we are hoping to move, I saw some really cheap raspberry canes called {Heritage}, which fruit in August/September. AND some blueberry plants (I wont call them bushes they are little more than a stick right now), these are called {Patriot}. I bought 3 of each, they were 20p each. Twenty whole pennies each!!! I made sure each plant had some leaves on it, as I have fallen for this before where I plant a stick and nothing happens, nothing grows and I say to myself, maybe it was damaged in the shop and I need to give it another year. Then I am faithfully watering a stick for 2 years. lol
I also bought a wiegela called {Bristol Ruby}, I like this plant and already have 2 other wiegelas. The 2 I already own, seem to attrach a lot of bees, which I will want to promote in our next garden. You guessed it, this was also 20p.
My last plant I didnt know what it was, but it looked nice on the box, It is called {Lonicera Tatarica}, this will hopefully flower in May/June. I have now found out that it is a honeysuckle. I hope it has a good scent that will also bring pollinators into the garden, This plant really does look like 2 sticks right now, it was worth the chance of spending the 20p. Honeysuckle is poisonous to dogs, I have placed it in the greenhouse and this will be in an area where the dogs wont be allowed at the new house. Marta has taken to digging to China, they will therefore be 2 areas both dogs arent allowed. The veg garden and the BBQ area. I hope to use the honeysuckle as am arbour cover in the BBQ area. This is all pie in the sky as I have no idea how big our garden will be! lol this is a lot of ifs and whens.
Looking forward to pints of raspberries like I did in the above picture! yum.
I am pleased to have found the {Victoria (Australian) Agriculture} web pages. It seems to be easy to use and is really detailed. I havent found such a good website for vegetables and fruit before. It could become my go to, for my veggies, as I find some other websites hard to navigate.
Have a good day!
