Planting Raspberries

With the help of  3 people all 750 new raspberries were planted last week. It only took a few hours. Of course, it turned out hot and dry since then and we've rushed around getting drip-lines on the rows to water them.  Hopefully the berries will like their new home and it will yield a better crop for us. Sadly part of the patch we started out with has completely died because of it being too wet. The crop will be more sparse this year since these new canes won't have a lot of yield on them, but next year should be abundant.
The strawberries are growing nicely and the older plants have been blooming like mad so we should have an excellent crop this year. Check in with us in 2-3 weeks for updates on when the strawberries are ready.
