From the new bird proof strawberrium - who knows how

many they were eating previously?

No more free food for blackbirds

Aquaponic strawberries (Fragaria × ananassa) , bramble berries (Rubus sp.) from the berryarium

Grown this year with added nutrients

Vaccinium cyanococcus

Fragaria × ananassa

Lime on the Onion Bed

Very alkaline potting mix in the Blueberry pots

Vaccinium sp.

Fragaria × ananassa, Rubus ursinus x hybrid, Rubus × loganobaccus, Rubus idaeus

The loganberry (Rubus × loganobaccus) is an octaploid hybrid produced

from crossing a hexaploid apomictic blackberry and a tetraploid raspberry.

They are also very tasty.
