Re: The Gardening Year 2014
Just when I was feeling pleased that I was actually going to have some gooseberries on my one bush this year I notice the sawfly caterpillars have arrived and are busy stripping all the leaves I spent ages this afternoon with a pair of tweezers picking them off not an easy task because they are the same colour as the leaves and blend in so well.Re: The Gardening Year 2014

We have a cheap shop like a £pound shop a couple of miles away and I'm going to buy baby shampoo from them when we get there (probably next week), thanks Mups.Re: The Gardening Year 2014
My two gooseberry bushes are laden with fruit ( one was supposed to be red berries - they are both green ) I even took two cuttings from the 'red' one to give to my daughter and dil - I don't think they'll want themRe: The Gardening Year 2014
We had our first new spuds from the garden today, and very nice they were too.Re: The Gardening Year 2014

There seems to be a plague of blackfly this year and not many ladybirds about - the ants are vigorously farming themRe: The Gardening Year 2014
We ate our Malling strawberries last night, along with a dozen from the old plants. There was no comparison, the Malling was dark, shiny and a lovely flavor, I highly recommend them. We will be potting up the runners and phasing out the old ones, that we'll use for jam.
