Colorful plants and flowers growing outside the fence. Among the plants, on the right side are bright pink phlox (Phlox paniculata, Flammenblume), lush Peppermint (Mentha × piperita, Pfefferminze). On the left side, deep red flowers of Bee Balm (Monarda didyma, Goldmelisse) stand out with their characteristic spiky form. Lower left to center, delicate pink-flowering Japanese Spirea (Spiraea japonica, Roter Spierstrauch) forms rounded bushes with clusters of small blooms. To the left a wilder shrub of Jostaberry (Ribes × nidigrolaria, Jostabeere).

The #pear #tree is in eco mode this year (these are all the blossoms we got 😂), whereas the #Mirabelle #plum tree goes all out. 🎇
Oh, and our #jostaberry bush is in bloom too! I only got it in autumn from my parents' garden so I didn't know what to expect. For those of you who don't know this berry, it's a cross between gooseberry and black currant. In German we call it #Jochelbeere (that's the name I would use) or #Jostabeere (*Jo*hannisbeere + *Sta*chelbeere - the German names of the "parent" fruits). It tastes just like you would expect and the bushes are thornless

Lovely evening on the #CommunityAllotment with lots of plant swaps with folk on neighbouring plots.. we have acquired #peppers #sunflowers #kale #broccoli and #cornflowers and passed on #jostaberry and #blackberry cuttings #lungwort #foxglove #marrow and some of the #cornflowers 😀🌱❤️ #gardening #permaculture #CompanionPlanting

Been a particularly chaotic couple of weeks at work so just spent the afternoon doing some therapeutic #gardening on the #CommunityAllotment Potted up lots of wildflowers that had self seeded mostly #foxglove #teasel #lungwort #yarrow and also potted up some #jostaberry cuttings that had rooted well. Most will be given away through our #CommunityFridge but some of the flowers are going to our local museum #TheFolly who are creating a medicinal garden 🌱😀❤️

Jostaberry harvest. Jostaberry (Ribes × nidigrolaria) is a complex-cross fruit bush in the genus Ribes, involving three original species, the blackcurrant, the North American coastal black gooseberry and the European gooseberry.
