Daily details from the garden to bring you inspiration throughout the year
Nothing reaches into the week beyond midsummer with quite such unbridled enthusiasm as a bramble (Rubus fruticosus). Flowers already beginning to fade, releasing their petals to the air and concentrating on the serious business of making fat, black fruits for greedy birds and greedier gardeners, somewhere else deep within their programming they’re already looking ahead to this time next year, bent on conquest and shooting out primocanes into as yet unclaimed territory – on an upward trajectory just now, but give it a few weeks and they’ll be arching back earthwards, seeking to root on first contact. Relentless, and prickly. But delicious.
