This thing has been so happy for the last year in this spot. It was blooming happily last week! Now, almost all the flowers are dead.

There are plenty of new leaves… i guess? A handful of healthy flowers. The soil is moist, kinda wet, i guess. I am always nervous about root rot, so I pulled it, and the roots look super happy. WTF is up?

I haven’t been good about fertilizing this spring, but that can’t be the cause.

I have a bunch of 4×4 raised beds in my yard. One of them has a cluster of volunteer blackberries growing in one corner of it this year! It’s semi-shady and annoying to grow anything else in, so maybe I’ll have a raised blackberry bush in there instead. Is this a good idea? Should I just tip-layer the canes and let it go to town, or try to trellis?

Today’s garden visit..Wow.. lots of food in a single plate….all are organic,tasty and tender and entirely fresh.. Harvesting is always too good to do in a terrace garden…small space but more food and more happiness… Eggplants,cluster ridge gourd,okras, mulberries in the middle and some red bird eye chillies..(harvested veggies) . . . . . . Happy gardening 🌿
