Spring is Sprung. The Grass is Riz. I wonder where the mower iz
First spring images of the garden at the Small house in Duns. A labour of love and not of desperation as it often seemed in the vast acres of the Old Manse in Hutton. Its still a three pullover Spring but the Blether Centre has promised us a long hot summer. Cast not a clout 'til May is out will still apply.
Our raspberry plants seem to be the victim of very cold late summer-not a single bud on any of the 11 stalks but 5 shoots have emerged from underground to promise fruit next year at the earliest. The image is of the healthiest survivor

After having next to no whitecurrants or redcurrants last year, it looks like I'll be getting a lot of whitecurrants but not redcurrants this year. Any news of how other redcurrant bushes are doing in the area?

We had heaps of redcurrants last year here in the tropical south (of Berwickshire) and the bush is looking well-pleased with itself already this year.
How we miss the massive fruit garden in the OLd Manse with all th sofy fruit you could wish for including Woosterberries. But don't miss the work involved
