What's going on in your garden (2024)?

Raspberry season has definitely arrived!

 

[Barriehie]

Yeah SNSSO!

Coming up it's forecasted to rain for 3 days!

So I've gathered up some mulch to put around my garlic plants when it's done raining.

Staged it ready to spread since it'll be a cold wet mess...

Excellent move. Amazing how much good that mulch does to the plants.

That and keep the weeds at bay. Anything that can grow, crawl, slither, fly, buzz, or dig lives in my backyard...

I took another 1kg of raspberries this morning.

We'll not mention how many didn't make it into the bag

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

And another 1½kg today!

They taste fantastic.

Those would never make it into a recipe - MrsT would eat and eat and eat those.

I have the same problem. Some of those didn't make it to the freezer. Freezing them and storing them in the garage freezer slows my access to them.

At least they take up less fridge/freezer space that way

Nature is a wonderful thing, isn't it?
I was taking a break from some "profound" weeding activity and this little fella settled on my finger.
I'm not normally quick as a flash, but I managed to pick up my phone and take a few pics before Hyaliris coeno fluttered away:

Very beautiful.

Lovely but it’s making my fingers tickle!

I had another 1kg of raspberries yesterday. Get to pick the next lot tomorrow morning before it gets too warm
