I have left the entire section of garden they're in with the thought it would eventually be just for the berries. There is also a section put aside just for the strawberries. The long slender section will be for veggies only. <br /><br />I also wish you could share pictures with me. Family pictures make me light and happy. Just to think we are half way around the globe and have the same interests. I find that amazing, as well as comforting. Stay safe.Angie's frugal Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501238383146880477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809691927256994512.post-40788130885376779412015-04-13T08:35:35.341-07:002015-04-13T08:35:35.341-07:00Blackberries are usually very vigorous and they ca...Blackberries are usually very vigorous and they can quickly make a jungle, specially the traditional sorts. But maybe yours is a thornless variety. It is quite a good method when they are guided ( horizontally) on an espalier. So they are kept under control and the berries can be picked easily. <br />I am sorry I cannot show you pictures about "egg hunting" on Easter. It was so amusing for the whole family.<br />I also hope you had a good time with your family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809691927256994512.post-65698048406656405452015-04-12T18:57:31.073-07:002015-04-12T18:57:31.073-07:00You are correct!

Thank you for the information about transplanting in the fall, though. When I get more than I need, some will go to my daughter's house.<br /><br />There are many things going on in this country that are not optimal. I know the healthcare in Germany comes from taxes. Ours does not. There are people who are low income and can't afford the premiums that are very high every month and they pay taxes. Thankfully I don't have to worry about this because of my age. The insurance for seniors is affordable for most. I hope all is well with you and your family. I bet the grands had a glorious time looking for treats in the garden on Easter.Angie's frugal Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07501238383146880477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809691927256994512.post-72139153281935169182015-04-11T12:31:22.114-07:002015-04-11T12:31:22.114-07:00Your healthy blackberry baby could be the first of...Your healthy blackberry baby could be the first of some more to appear.You can easily transplant it in autumn when the leaves<br />have fallen. (If it´s growing on the wrong place) I would leave the lemon and the olive tree outside. Rain water is the best for plants as it is "soft". It also cleans the leaves of the plants and washes away the dust. Odd water can leak by the hole in the bottom of the pot. Concerning the economic situation in the USA, -- as a foreigner I cannot judge about it. I can only affirm that President Obama is very popular in Germany and an achievement like Obamacare is greatly honoured.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
