Day 2....Disappointment

A few years ago when I first read about goji berries being the new superfood I decided to try and grow a plant in a tub. Not ideal as they really need plenty of space and, apparently they grow like a hedge in the wild. Then a couple of years back it actually produced a few fruit and I thought at last it had become established! That year it also got some severe pruning as it was creeping over the fence and I didn't want to be a nuisance to my neighbour. Well that seemed to send the plant into shut down as no fruit for next couple of years. Then a few months ago I noticed a few flowers, and I do mean a few!! Last week I was able to pick my crop......wait for it!!!!!


I'm still trying to decide whether to keep it  or give up!!!! What do you think??

Goji Berries- Fruit Viagra

I thought that might catch your attention we know what some people (who shall remain nameless) feel about viagra etc etc adverts. According to the BBC news magazine Gojo are the new fruit viagra!?!?
I have just collected a couple of packets of Goji berries to see what all the fuss is about (we bought a box at the food co-op and split them) well all us oldies are hoping for a new lease of life!!! More importantly they are thought to help fight diseases (see article for details). I'll let you know what they're like and if any of you have tried them you can let us know!
