#berry bed

This is the 1279th drawing for this project

There used to be some other things in here, but I decided to let this become a framberry bed and I moved everything else in the garden last autumn. There’s still a lone cranberry in the middle, that doesn’t seem to grow (or die), I need to find a better spot for it at some point. All the others are framberry plants that grew from the runners from that plant in the top left corner. I pulled out some so the rest of them will be fairly evenly spaced out.

The berry bed seems to also be doing well. On bottom right is the balloon berry that looks kind of dead, so I planted the new one next to it and we’ll see. If the old one turns out to be alive I’ll replant one of them elsewhere so it doesn’t get crowded.

So this is how the berry bed has turned out. You can barely see anything for now, as the bushes are pretty small and have few leaves on them, but I have high hopes for it. There are also some strawberries in it and other scattered in the grass nearby that will be moved in the autumn. There’s also some garlic at one end, because we had some extra and no place for it.

I was not expecting it, but I found a few flowers on the blueberry bushes I planted this spring :)
