Back when it was spring, my parents decided to remove a few things from the yard because they were taking up too much space. So I ended up rescuing one of the berry-plants on the balcony. So far it has produced five berries and seems to be a cross between a blackberry and a raspberry. It is quite delicious, if a bit sour. I think the English word is loganberry.
The tree of enigma, also rescued from downstairs, has produced nothing at all so far and now seems to be slowly dying because of winter. So that’s a bit sad. And I don’t even know what it is yet.
The Japanese wineberry however turned out perfect! Little bit sour, not that many berries yet, but good. As you can see this was before the death of Fatty. She loved the balcony. I miss her coming in damp from the rain and then making the frog-like croaking noise as she wobbled or trotted up to you.
I hope the plants all survive the winter and produce more berries next year. Same with the mint. I did try to make everything winter-proof, but since this was the first time I tried to do so, I have no idea how that will go.
