Down On The Allotment

We spent some time on the allotment at the weekend, planting soft fruit bushes. We planted:

8 canes of the summer fruiting raspberry Malling Leo

8 canes of the autumn fruiting raspberry Autumn Bliss

1 thornless blackberry, Black Satin

1 loganberry (variety not specified)

1 redcurrant bush (variety not specified)

1 soft fruit bush of some kind but nobody knows what it is because the label fell off, so I shall call it "mystery soft fruit bush" and hope it's a blackcurrant

My husband, Ed, got them for me for Christmas, hence the uncertainty about the mystery fruit bush. He bought a selection of soft fruit from the garden centre, but he can't remember exactly what he got. They all look like dead twigs at the moment anyway. Still, it will be a nice surprise when it finally fruits. Watch this space.
