Raspberry treat


Raspberries in cream


Spent 2 half days clearing an overgrown corner near the house, full of brambles, wild roses and nettle, all nasty plants with thorns and stings. 



Bright red raspberries started to appear, first guessed that they are wild plants. 



More clearing revealed a purpose built giant square high bed used to grow raspberry. Now only 1/3 of the area was taken up by young and few years old wooded tall raspberry plants, the rest are invaded wild plants.

The raspberries are big, sweet sour and in excellent condition. It was hard work to deal with neglect but really rewarding.
