I intended to get some work done in the garden today but as i,m just off nightshift I slept until 4ish and couldn,t get any energy to get me going..lol so just had a look at things and made plans for next year.
my wee tom thumb fuchsia is flowering again after producing berries ( which we ate).
I love the colours of this…
I managed to get some cuttings from a couple of Buddleia bushes and planted them into a pot and put in the coldframe.. there coming on well..
after I got those cuttings I found a couple of Buddleia Davidii Black Knights reduced to a couple of quid each, i,m going to put these into some very big tubs.
A Sambuca.. Black something.. is growing nicely since I potted it up..
as is this baby Hydrangea grandiflora which had earlier produced big buds that caused the branches to droop so I cut them off ( i know, I know) but it has grown well and produced more which i,ll leave on this time.
I managed to get some big tubs ready and tomorrow i,ll plant my bulbs in them which i,ll move to their positions and leave them to it.
In my coldframe my potted on cuttings from osteospermums and solanums are doing great as are some other cuttings which i,m unsure about, i,ll wait till they are a bit bigger and then try to id them.

Sanbaz, the only thing I can think they taste like is sort of grape-ish, if that makes sense.. not really a strong taste.

I did some checking before I tried any of the berries and far as I,m aware any fuchsia berries can be eaten but some are sweet and some not so sweet.
try a google for fuchsia berries.
