Raspberry canes ... the new arrivals!

The canes down in the bottom right corner where nothing seems to grow...touch wood!

My neighbour's mom is an avid gardener and she had promised to swipe some raspberry canes for me when she next visited her mom out in Ballater. So one stormy evening (it had to be) there was a buzz on the door and lo and behold, my neighbour was armed with a bunch of canes. Brilliant! so despite the pouring rain, I plonked them into the bottom right corner of the garden. A few weeks later, I'm glad to report that they have taken root and seems to be doing well. So, now the only thing left is to be vigilant and keep pesky birds away and we might just enjoy some homegrown jam and fruit tarts!

One of the cane decided to grow horizontally...there has to be one!!

Here comes the Tulips

The tulips have arrived, due to the abnormally hot week we had, the tulips sprouted in record time. These are the ones under my climbing rose, I thought they were deep red in colour but turns out they were yellow! haha!

Photo above was taken yesterday, this morning the weather turned and below is what happened! I hope the plants will survive the sudden chill.
