Well I've gone and bought two tayberries from poundland today.
Was quite impressed with the stock they had but the lad was just filling the shelves so I suspect it had just arrived. Will be planting them this week I assume - not read the instructions on the back but have just read they might like to be in the middle of a field ... on their own "The strong growers should be planted about 4m (13ft) apart. Medium strength growers need to be planted about 2.5m (8ft)" 4M apart? Just how big do they get?!! -- http://www.freedeliveryuk.co.uk http://www.holidayunder100.co.uk |

I haven't seen Kay posting for a few days, come in Kay? Just come back from some happy plant hunting in Portugal :-) I'm not an expert, and I haven't a clue what I've got! I planted IIRC tayberry, sunberry and loganberry (and I had boysenberry at a previous house), but I can't remember which was which! No matter - they're all much the same in the way they grow. While they're growing, keep tying in the fruiting canes, which, fortunately, are flexible so you can curve them down the framework and back along the bottom, then back up and along the top again and then..... Bundle the new canes vertically to keep them out of the way. Once you have picked all the fruit, cut the fruiting canes at the base. Untie your bundle of new canes and tie these in nicely spread along your framework. I developed an allergy, so pruning and even picking became impossible, so am now moving over to a thornless loganberry and some thornless blackberries. Anyone know of a thornless tayberry? -- Kay |

I can't remember where I got it, Thompson and Morgan I think, unlikely though that seems. -- Kay That's what I wanted to know. Like you I seem to have developed an allergy to some things. Especially Juniper, I cannot even touch it without a fine rash all over my hands and arms. If I prick myself on a rose, I get a rash so I am looking at stuff that doesn't have spikes. I will have a look online at Thompson and Morgan. As an aside, we were in a garden centre, not a nursery, yesterday and Thompson and Morgan had a huge display but so expensive, too expensive so I gave it a miss. Tomorrow I am going to take cuttings of my white petunia, hopefully I will have sufficient so that I don't need to buy any for hanging baskets. Sorry about ramble but as you know, I like talking over the garden fence :-) Judith |
