ripe-blackberries
Blackberries often called Brambles (latin name – Rubus Fruticosus) are ripe and ready
for picking. The blackberries do not all ripen at the same time, so the
ripe berries should be picked every day, to stop them going mouldy.

Victoria-plum-tree
The Victoria plums in the garden are ripe. They are ready for picking when
they are slightly soft. When plums are ripe they start to fall off the
tree, so it is important to pick them before they all drop off.
If you have plums to spare this recipe of slow roasted pork with plums
from Joanna’s food, is excellent.
The plantlets on strawberry runners which were potted up four weeks ago , have grown into strong young strawberry plants.

The runner, connecting the new plant in the pot with the mother plant, can
be cut & the peg can be removed.

The new, young strawberry plant is now independent and able to feed itself. The
plant must be watered regularly whilst it is in the pot, to keep it damp.
