    Tee hee

    Must confess I'm slacking with the virtual show entries this year. We've been moving me ole Dad into a flat in a care home and helping him sell his flat - and our own house move is happening this week too!!

    All in the midst of an allotment cornucopia. I'm topping and tailing goosegogs, freezing broad beans and stringing up onions with one hand and packing all our worldly goods away with the other!

      They are not big/long enough to be Loganberries. Other way is to taste them, if you don't end up looking like you have been sucking on a lemon, they are definitely not Loganberries.
      I am with VC and it is one of the Blackberry hybrids, possibly Dewberry.
      it would be easier to id if it was grown properly and tasted, with photographs of the leaves and flowers with sizes of leaves and flowers noted
      As it doesn't appear to be a wild blackberry, it would probably be worth uncovering it it and growing it properly--full sun, plenty of manure/compost, post and wire system or fence---give the growth on a fence 6 ft either way from the center to start with (it may need more next year, but probably less)

        It appeared from nowhere.
        Currently it's quite low growing.
        It quite vicious with tiny thorns.
        I lifted the bush to pick them and it attacked me !

          Some of my strawberries had a white dusty covering,I wonder if it's a mould? Mine weren't properly mulched/aerated which could be the reason,damp berries,hopefully it's not that though?

            Some berries have a natural white "bloom" on them. On blueberries it's obvious.

                If I don't reply back then they were something else!

                    Well they tasted OK and I am still here.
                    Definitely a raspberry like taste.

                      AP, the yellow ones are BB's yellow raspberries.
