went in the ground today!

It has several leaves and a few flower buds on it already. I am very excited to start growing raspberries.:rose

Awesome! I almost bought a few raspberry plants today. I felt sorry for them. I have a huge wild patch on the property so I decided against it. It was close though.

Nice! I planted a Fall Gold Raspberry today. I think the other 2 berries go in tomorrow.

It's the small one on the left. The other one is Indian Summer.

Today I indeed will go get those very strange small blackberry plants from my secret patch in the woods. Pray I remember to bring my camera to photo that naturally grafted Oak and Fir, side graft of sorts... that is also there.

These plants have unusual leaves and small blackberries.

Around the 1st of April I hope to see what the little nursery has this year for more unusual berries. Want a true dewberry and a blackcap raspberry, plus more yellow raspberries.

Can anyone guess what I might start doing with the pollen?

I have the dual season heritage breed raspberries, and if I could I would give you ALL canes! These puppies are out of control, and this is the transplant time for them. I'll probably be pulling out 20 canes asap. I have someone already picking up a few, but my beds are really over crowded. The kids don't mind it at all. I am just tired of getting pricked trying to get in the garden since they are popping up and falling over into the fenced section.
