i'm feeling much better now, my red currants have sprung to life, looking fab now

I have a summer fruiting rasp and it's starting to show new lovely green shoots - and even the autumn varieties which have been nothing more than twigs are starting to show some green buds forming

the tayberry has popped it's head up out of the raised bed (i kinda buried it when i was making new beds, and it's finally broken through)

and the blackberry bushes are now shoing signs of life!!!

put some blackcurrents, bluberries and gooseberries in today too

sadly, my cranberry looks like it's doing nothing, and i think the damage caused by the rabbits in winter has seen off the kiwi plants. i'll give them a couple more weeks before i replace them

but all in all, the garden in looking much healthier this week and i'm happy again. the nursery fruit no longer looks better than my own stuff!!

My blackthorn bushes that I bought from ebay last year have started sprouting - I'd all but given up on them since my 4 year old dug them out and 'replanted' them, but it's looking like I might get one or two sloe berries this year after all !

Also the strawberry hanging basket that hubby bought and forgot about last year has been cleaned up and split between 2 pots, it's looking really good - hopefully I'll be able to get some of the off shoots to root and expand the amount I have without spending anymore cash !
