The last row of gooseberries are now neat and tidy having had a good prune. On the last bush, 6 low branches had layered themselves into the bark chipping mulch and rooted really quite well as you can see in the top picture.
A newbie plot holder (Jim) was pottering about a few plots along and I made his day by offering them to him. He had been looking at gooseberries in a local garden centre but was baulking at the £7.99 asking price so very gratefully bit my hand off at the offer. It does give a "warm fuzzy" being able to help other plot holders get a start with their plots, even something that took no extra effort on my part.
The blackcurrants were looked at again and another old bit of wood was cut out of one, it produced three more cuttings which I stuck in the end of a raised bed.
