Blackberry Delights!

Having big dreams of growing blueberries, rasberries, stawberries and any other kind of delicious berry in my backyard has been a realization in far reach. Berries were the first plants I looked for when gathering purchases of seed varietys. (mostly vegetables) To my dismay, I was unable to find any berry seeds. Experienced gardners are probably chuckling about now since they probably know that these berries are not sold in the same fashion as say vegetable seeds. And, they are not sold all year long.

I was SO excited to find blackberry and 2 kinds of raspberry plants on sale at Orchard Hardware Supply! I also found strawberries for sale...10 plants in a bag of soil for $4.50ish. I was dissapointed to see how expensive stawberries were, yet at the same time I was excited to see how they were sold. The blackberry plants and raspberry plants were $6.49 each. I grabbed a blackberry plant and plan on going back for the raspberry plants later.

I was also excited to find that OHS carried watermelon radish seeds. Until today, these were seeds that seemed non exsistant. So, I grabbed a bag of the dainty seeds, with much enthusiasm, for planting this summer.

My garden find for the month!

"This plant is already 2 years old!"

"I have a recipe for these already!"
