Raspberries

Thanks for the raspberry bushes Dad! We'll be eating cobblers in no time.

Dad bought several raspberry and blackberry "bushes" for my birthday last year, and they finally arrived this March. A couple of weekends ago, he came and we planted them. It was a little worrisome because the ground was REALLY wet, and we thought it might be a leech field or something. But it dried out, and Dave carted 3 carloads of mulch from the dump to pretty up the rows. As you can see from the closeup shot, they have buds...but it'll be at least a year till they bear fruit.
