Plants Don't Read the Manuals Do They?

The raspberries in the photo are Autumn fruiting ones - Autumn Bliss and Fallgold. They do this every year and start fruiting in July - officially mid summer. My guerilla plants are joining in too; the primroses I planted out last week are just coming into flower.

What is it with you guys? Though the raspberries (and blueberries) are very welcome and yummy of course.

  1. Delicious. I am very partial to Blueberries, but the birds always beat me to them.

  2. We're being VERY WATCHFUL of our raspberries out along the alley fence. We've been trimming and training up a forest of them back there and are keeping an eye out for the first clumps of darkness in the green. Otherwise, like Zoe, our work will have gone to the birds... or the neighborhood kids...

  7. Must be global warming! Blueberries cost 6£ per pound over here so it´s a treat I do not get often - yummy!
