The blackberries and dewberries are in bloom. It’s that special time of year known as ‘Blackberry Winter’. The pleasant warm temperatures are taking a break for awhile. Thunderstorms are sporadically battering our region. At the moment, the sun is shining and the wind is gusting like mad. I’ll be glad when this little winter has passed.
Wishing everyone a short blackberry winter.

May 3rd my husband harvested our first crop. It was a lovley mess of radishes. My husband says they’re really good. I’m not a radish eater, but I like growing them as companion planting to help deter pests.
I re-potted my bell peppers. 59 have survived so far. However, I don’t know how much longer they’re going to last with no sunshine…
We’re in the throws of Blackberry winter. It’s quite cool and storms are fequent visitors.
The dewberries and blackberries are blooming pretty though.
My peonies were blooming happy & beautifully
Now since it’s storming everyday not so much…
We lost 2 small trees during the storms. My husband had to buy a chainsaw to clear them out of the yard. Hopefully the storms are finished with us for awhile and Blackberry winter will be over soon. Perhaps we can soon get back to the business of enjoying sunshine once again.
Wishing you all a pleasant rest of the week!
