At the garden on Wednesday we finished moving and planting the strawberries alongside the blueberries out of the pathway, and there were a few left over for gardeners to take home.
And a team tackled the overgrown Dianthus in the Espaliered Orchard.
A close-up view of the apricot blossom, the first to come out!
We inspected the rhubarb, growing in its light-deprived environment! It was lovely and warm in there and it does seem to have put on a spurt since Sunday!
The final touches being put to the enlarged entrance portal into the garden, which hopefully the Canadice grapevine will cover in due course and provide us with grapes and leaves for dolmas!
Here is a brief description of the grape variety: The grape that does it all. From snacks and salads to jelly, juice, and wine. This early ripening grape is known to bear great crops even after hard winters. Sweet, great grape flavour with a unique hint of spiciness. Easy to grow, with compact grape clusters 6–8 inches long. Bears medium-size, firm, red grapes that keep well on the vine. Seedless. Ripens in mid-August, and can be picked through September. Self-pollinating.
