Today we continued with the gardening and started finally on our fruit planting. We have a long list of things we like and today we started with the berries. We have planted 4 small blueberry bushes, defining the property line with Jim and Joanie just across the sun room. I hope they will catch on, in particular as they do not get too much direct sun. They are supposed to grow as high as 2m, and they should form a solid hedge. We purchased four different types which will allows for plenty of cross pollination. In blueberries a decent fruit harvest depends quite a bit on the cross pollination. Of course it will take a while until we get a decent hedge and who knows when we are going to eat our first blueberries.
\nThe three raspberry bushes we bought were a little more difficult to place. Those guys spread like weed and we wanted them to live in our forest, maybe even defining the forest line a bit and cover the ramp which is mildly visible from the patio. I wanted to put them on the left-hand side right on the tree line, but Ana pointed right at the middle, same line. The big advantage of that spot is of course that there is a big rock which will prevent the raspberries from spreading into the garden. Raspberries fresh from the bush are one of my favorite fruits. I cannot wait for them to carry the first fruit.
\nMeanwhile, we have also been improving on the living room furniture: we have found a super large coffee table fitting our large sofa. Ana added also a nice seat on the TV side. Both pieces are really breaking the general style of the rest of the living room but in a nice way, we think \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
