Growing Your Own Fruit and Vegetables

We grow our own fruit and vegetables for our meals for as much of the year as we can. Without a greenhouse we have to buy shop food in the winter months but in the spring, summer and autumn we often have enough to share with family and friends.

Read about growing your fruit and vegetables here on my growing your own food pages.

Picking autumn fruiting raspberries now

- well not now as I am writing this at night but we have a good crop of raspberries that are ripening up well this year. This week have picked about the same amount of raspberries that would have cost over £3 to buy in the shops and there are still more on the cane waiting to ripen soon.

Autumn fruiting raspberries are relatively easy to grow they just look a bit untidier than their summer fruiting relatives. It is worth growing them if you have enough space for them, as they fruit at a time of year when they are useful by themselves or mixed with other fruits.
