Fruit Growing

There is little more rewarding than eating fruit freshly picked from the garden still warm from the sun. You don’t need to give over large amounts of space in order to grow fruit but you will need to think about the amount of sun the plants will get in there proposed location.

Though fruit can be a little hard work, battling against pests and the birds it is well worth the effort when you taste home grown raspberries or strawberries. Knowing also that they contain no chemicals and havent been sat on shelves for weeks losing their flavour. So if possible give a small area over to this rewarding type of gardening and taste the difference, you’ll never look back

Raspberries

I’ve always wanted to grow raspberries, so last year I purchased two varieties, an early and a late by mail order. I made 2 raised beds from timber and filled them with Ericaceous compost as I was told they like acidic soil and kept them watered through the summer. I had a fantastic crop of fruit and the flavour was unbeleavable. They were so easy to grow and required very little attention other than me picking them and enjoying them.
