The weather today was positively springlike and very warm for the time of year providing the opportunity to progress with some work of a horticultural nature on the plot.
We have finally extended the rows of trained gooseberries. The original row was planted last winter and proved to be a highly successful way of growing them, producing some very large fruit and it has the advantage of keeping the plants themselves tidy and manageable.
We hope to create a new row of trained soft fruit on the opposite side of the path but as you can see from the photo below a lot of clearance needs to take place before planting can commence.
The first snowdrops of the season are now in full flower which is a welcome sight after such a bad winter.
I like the idea of trained gooseberries
