Blueberries and flowers

At the weekend, on a rather soggy day, I went with the family to the pick-your-own blueberry farm. The bushes were laden with berries but we didn't pick a large amount as they are in need of some sunshine to ripen and sweeten the fruit. We shall return in a week or so if the weather bucks it's ideas up.

It is a nice place to be as there is also a pick-your-own flower field and a charming café where the ceiling is hung with flowers. I had called in at the allotment in the morning where I was delighted to see that my name on the waiting list was looking more hopeful. I'm wanting to have a cutting patch so I studied the staking system in the fields with interest.

Corner posts and wide netting to grow through seem to do an excellent job.

The café is newly built and very pleasing with flowers everywhere!
