Gets arrested?

Aw I'd like a bit o fun. Think I'll go scrumping

something scoffed all our goosegogs

s'pose it was probably pidgeons but there's a nagging doubt in my cos our little goosegog bush is a bit wild and .....unkempt
whatever ate them would have had to move branches aside to reach the ones in the middle. Hmmmmm.......

Probably was the birds D&T they love 'em- they also seem to know exactly when they are ready and nick 'em about 20 minutes before you harvest them

I really hope so Andy
I'd rather think of some fat little birdies having a feast than some git pinching them

Harvested mine yesterday - which had been careful netted and everything - got 15 goosegogs

Don't think I've hadany nicked, just for some reason I didn't get many to set .

On a happier note I got in my first ever rasps - only about 20, but there's more coming

D & T you have my sympathy cos same happened to me so no guzgog ice cream for me they were ripening lovely yesterday cos I tasted em. Just not quite ready. Been today and not one left Damn em

I'm netting all my fruit bushes next year ... May be Alcatraz like a la Derek

oooh wardy! poor you!

at least mine were rock hard and sour when they went (visions of pidgeons vomiting and clutching their painfully distended bellies )

Me too Dom. gonna take better care of me fruit bushes generally next year! don't look like they've been pruned for years

pruning advice anyone?

I made such a good job of securing me strawbs couldn't be bothered to dismantle it to pick some

thanks Andy

and Wardy, nutter

Wilko have got guzgogs in. Two sizes - the biggest at £3 and the littler ones at £1 each. I bought the cheaper ones. Red ones they are but can't understand the lingo on the box so gawd knows what variety they are

That the same as mine cos they are red and the variety is "I've no idea what they are" as well!

Very tasty though....trouble is the birds think so too

Not alf! The chuffin birds nicked all mine last year which admitted weren't many but really One minute they were plumping up nicely (me guzgogs that is ) and the next every single one vanished

Bloomin blackbird nicked all mine last year 'nall

I just bought a blackberry from wilkos, looks interesting little symbols on the side of the box suggest that it only grows to about 4 foot , and it fruits between May & July We shall see what happens

is it a red one then Pen?

Yep the goosegog is a hinaki red or summat like that

I'll have a look at mine. At first glance I couldn't find the name but I shall get me specs on and look again. Speaking of which my old man trod on me specs last night and broke em so I'm wearing cracked wonky uns this morning
