I think my 'thornless tayberry' is a loganberry as it came with two labels, one of each, and I think we've discussed it before that it is a loganberry, but it is too sharp to eat without mountains of sugar. Whichever, it's days are numbered as it is too thuggish for my garden.Rustic Pumpkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335714529878600216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-73363693910405637452016-09-02T14:10:55.642+00:002016-09-02T14:10:55.642+00:00I do enjoy every single part of the growing season...I do enjoy every single part of the growing season - even the fall cleanup when you get rid of all the old, diseased, dead growth and the beds look so tidy and ready for next year. My raspberry and blackberry plants are still tiny, so not much pruning required, but they do need a good weeding and layer of mulch which is on the to-do list once the kids are back in school.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-21180132631010301672016-09-02T14:00:20.816+00:002016-09-02T14:00:20.816+00:00Just makes one realise how much work is involved i...Just makes one realise how much work is involved in growing fruit (well, most edible things actually!).
