RE: My Actifit Report Card: May 19 2019

in #actifit6 years ago

You got in a good day of disc golfing! It's nice to have a fun activity to do when the weather is beautiful. I have only 1 blackberry bush, I whack it back pretty often, to keep it shaped up. When they start ripening (a long time from now unfortunately) I get about a nice sized bowl full a day to enjoy. Mine is the thornless variety, so easy picking.

Sort:  

In the fall I pretty much eat my fill every day and sometimes freeze or can some for later. I had not heard of the thornless variety that would be nice. I've got raspberries that are thornless too and they tend to ripen earlier and produce longer. I'm trying to get them to spread more and cut back some of the blackberries.

@lightsplasher I'd love to have some raspberries as well, yummmm. I had a strawberry patch in the back, but it seems to have not made it very well over the winter. There are few plants left this spring. 😭

Strawberries in the yard turn into all straw and no berry. The slugs and snails eat the berries at the slightest hint of pink and then they eat the plant. They seem to do better in raised boxes. I like strawberries but other berries are much easier to grow.
