For those of you who hang on every word I write and can’t wait for the next installment, let me relieve the anticipation. I’m announcing that the berries have arrived and found their place in the soil of Charamon garden. I would insert a picture but there’s nothing to see. The Raspberries consist of six sticks protruding from the ground. The blackberries are six tiny plants lost in the background and the strawberries are basically invisible.
I will say that in each planting I coated the roots with mychorrizae and amended the soil with Texas Greensand, Bonemeal, Bloodmeal (in some cases) and Cottonseed meal (in some cases) and used my hard-won charcoal (biochar) until it ran out. Now we wait to see what happens.
What I am expecting is lots and lots of berries. Some we will eat, some I will sell. In the meantime, eat your veggies…Nonnie and Pop said so! The reality, however, is that my granddaughter refuses to eat peas no matter what Nonnie and Pop say.
