The raspberries have finished and the old canes have been cut down. Some of the new canes have also been removed as there were far too many. Several of the new canes have grown through the net, so I have rolled the sides of the net up and tied it to the frame so I can weed more easily. I will remove it when the leaves have dropped.
The blueberries have also finished but the pink ones are now in full flow. Like most of the fruit, these have done well this year.
The little chilean guava has some fruit on it this year but is being smothered by the rhubarb. I intend to move the rhubarb a bit to make more room (it is in a bucket), which will mean moving a trough of strawberries, which didn't do well here anyway.
The melons in the growhouse. I have about given up hope of any fruit, but it is possible there is something lurking under all those leaves.
The buckwheat was starting to produce flower buds, so I pulled it up and chopped it onto the soil. I was disappointed with this - it is supposed to form deep roots, but only went down about an inch, and considering the amount of seed I sowed, there was very little of it.
