I love all sorts of berries, they sound lovely. Tay reminds me of Dundee cake, my Nan used to make impressive ones, heavy with fruit and nuts....mmmgoing to donate my tayberry plant to the farm. it should yield well for the first time this year. the plant is in its third season . going to train it to grow along a fence. got her ready for transport.
The tayberry is a cultivated shrub in the genus Rubus of the family Rosaceae patented in 1979 as a cross between a blackberry and a red raspberry, and named after the River Tay in Scotland. The fruit is sweeter, much larger, and more aromatic than that of the loganberry, itself a blackberry and red raspberry cross

i always grow carrots in tall pots , or deep tubs, troughs , whatevever , or on walls well away from the floor above 40 cm . this stops the common carrot fly from reaching your carrots as they only fly to a max of approx 20 cm off the ground. unless i just dreamt that up, but thats what i have always done. that soil i dug up was too decent not to reuse. its fertile soil , plus old compost layer , plus new horse manure and hay.i will turn it all over, and add a layer of screened compost on top . i removed the fresh manure and hay , as it is hot and just kept the good shitSweet, making good progress! Strawberries are looking slick, thats going produce well!
I have a big green barn just like that!
Thats some really good soil. I always stuggle to separate the weeds from the carrots. I may have to try something like that. What types of herbs are you growing besides our favorite herb Cannabis?
I thought about getting some italian herbs going. I grew oregano a couple times over the years. Lost the plants that were in the garden, and I didn't plant the seedlings a year or 2 ago because they weren't ready then it got too hot.
I am somewhat sensitive to oregano anyway, but it has great health benefits! I may get a couple starts for the garden, if you get a pack of seed, the seed is so small you get like a million seeds!
