About a month ago, I mentioned I was thinking of getting a container berry bush. I only got one thinking the chance of its survival was slim to none. Well guess what?
You have no idea how excited I am. I grew something edible despite my complete lack of ability and general unfit plant mothering. Obviously this bush was impossible to kill so I take no credit for it but it's still the most exciting snack I can remember.
That is awesome! I "accidentally" grew strawberries last year, and again this year... kind of fabulous when things grow despite... :)
ReplyDeleteA little jealous over here. After 3 attempts to grow raspberries in a container, I finally gave up this year. I refuse to plant them in the yard, as I understand they can be invasive. Enjoy your bounty!
ReplyDeleteYay! Freshly picked raspberries are the best!!! They are very easy to grow and I dont find them that invasive. We have soo many fruits right now, my spoiled parrot oonly eats those and not store bought ones.
ReplyDeleteI planted a garden this year - tomato, herbs, string beans, etc. It is not too big, just right for us. I am still waiting for something to grow. If you hear screaming and shouting in CT you will know I harvested something. Next year I will try strawberries.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome. I am a plant killer. You give me hope.
ReplyDeleteJust curious if you went with a Brazel Berry bush? I saw some shortly after you posted about them but I held off on buying one. If they're that easy to grow I might get one next year!
ReplyDeleteYes,that's the bush we got. I could only find one at my local nursery so that's what we got but
