Vernon lives!
6th April and we have bud burst
whoo hoo
this is vernon, he has awakened after his many transplanting's and is now in a settled home (he seems to like it)
all the other vines, raspberries, hop, blackberries, kiwi fruits, fig, currants (Red and Black) gooseberries and rhubarb are coming on stream
many of my strawberry plants survived the winter too
life is good!Attached FilesLast edited by lockwood1956; 06-04-2010, 09:48 AM.N.G.W.B.J.

All the fruits in my garden are back to life like your's Bob (the Timperley Early rhubarb is over a foot high allready!) Will be freezing some soon as in the juice extraction tutorial.
The exception is the vine
I think there is time though, it was alive when I pruned it about a month ago, keep the fingers crossed.
The hard winter has killed quite a few plants though, even a couple of well established Rosemary bushes havn't survived!

Blossom has been opening on cherry plums in the hedgerows all the way across Oxfordshire, Bucks. & Bedfordshire for over a week, but there's none open on the sloes and I've only seen the first on just one wild damson (and it wasn't one of the 20 or so that I have growing).
