Any guerilla gardeners in the neighbourhood? I'll have to get rid of quite a few plants from the garden over the next few weeks. Here's a start, free to whoever wants them:
comfrey
3 ash trees
lots of brambles

Yeah, we've got brambles too.

And me - but no fruit on them last October so perhaps they need pruning back

Hey Northfifeduckling

you still got any brambles going free? I've just increased my raised bed area and i'm looking for some to fruit to grow. I ahd a couple of bramble plants last year, but only got a couple of berries off them :-(

cheers

Yes, Chris, loads, especially if you have a few minutes helping me to dig them up. Part of my garden looks like Sleeping Beauty's property lol. email me to arrange sth if you are serious. I don't know if I'd put them in a raised bed as you'll never be able to get rid of them again. In between a hedge or along a fence would be best, gives some protection against predators, too, this way.

update:
I just found loads of self seeded herb fennel (for salads or to grow the seeds, not the veg/bulb) and herb celery (like parsley, but tastes of celery) plants. To many to transplant and too good to throw them on the compost. Any takers welcome.

Just returned from North Fife and a bramble gathering expedition.

thanks for the brambles, we had a great wee tour around Fife.

i'm now just preparing a wee spot in my garden hedge to plant the wild bramble beasties - i've decided to leave a large sharp pair of garden shears within easy reach just in case they try to take over my garden!!!

thanks
