Frames in Place


There you go. Frames in place over the already planted strawberry plants. They look a bit bright and light.

Also I tidied up what used to the old strawberry patch, now transplanted to a new bed. That has got three goosberry bushes in it:





This is my jotted map of the patch, so that's White Lion, first, that according to the fruit book of Great Britain at chestofbooks is

Large and obovate. Skin, white, and downy. Of first-rate quality, and a good late sort. Bush, pendulous.


While Howard Lancer is, according to perennials of distinction, is very large greenish white berries with a superb flavour. Strong grower and regular cropping.

and Lord Derby is a red berry that is the last of the red berries to ripen. The fruit is large and oval and is a good choice for exhibition purposes. Season Early August Dessert / Culinary, according to perennials.

Though this bush is looking a little sickly at the moment.



We had goosberry crumble the other day with the last of the gooseberries that were frozen last summer; the picture is up above as blogger is a bit glitchy with the placing of photos



I also planted 12 potatoes where the strawberries used to be and another 6 between the goosberries, as they're on the small side, for the moment.

A small line of spring onions, white lisbon was put in as well.
