Raspberries still fruiting

Still have blackberries in the hedge by my house & still lots of cooking apples on the tree in spite of strong winds - fortunately as 40 bags of apples & blackberries frozen in the summer were ruined when the old freezer in the garage broke down while we were on holiday.

Thank Granny23 I will try that

My patio pots of geraniums are still flowering and producing buds and lots of new leaves and they are outside against a wall (1 lot) and a fence (the other lot). I have roses in bloom a good spread of blooming lantana in the rockery. I expect the lot to go when we get the first hard frost but hey ho, spring isn't THAT far away.

Tanith I had some success in the summer when I accidently broke off a fruiting branch while picking Rasps. I put it in a jar of water on the kitchen window sill and most of the fruit ripened and was edible.

Thats what I had been doing AllieOxon so nice to have them for a pud at Christmas... its just a shame the rest will be wasted they still have loads on them..
I haven't seen any blackberries though they seem to all be finished around here but I do have a bag in the freezer ..

I have just resumed my daily walks after being away or busy for the last few weeks. To my amazement on each of my walks this week I have been picking handfuls of blackberries. Beautifully ripe and shiny - and beautifully sweet.

From early August to October I always have a plastic bag in my pocket and do about 10 - 15 minutes picking on each walk so I now have about 15lbs of blackberries in the freezer, but I had chucked this year's bag away thinking that the blackberries were finished. Today they were quite cold, almost frozen when I picked them and they melted in my mouth like ice looies.

My autumn ones - which have got themselves mixed with the others - were fruiting until last week. Too cold and wet now.
The last few I picked a handful at a time and froze them, have a boxful now.
