Saturday was a beautiful sunny day here in WNY. We finally got outside around 10 AM. I had laid down cardboard, newspaper, peat moss, soil, and dry leaves in the fall. This made the sod MUCH easier to turn. I thought I would be able to do this without the help of the Mantis, but I did need it. So, David came down with the tiller. He tilled. I raked and dug. Around 11:30, I took Jonathan and went off to get the raspberry plants. We were so very blessed to receive free plants from my friend's mom and dad. Jonathan and I dug the plants with the help of my friend, Kathy's mom. After a quick lunch we got to the business of planting. David took the tiller and tilled me a trench. Jonathan and Carolyn helped me plant the berry plants. Here are a couple of pictures of the berry patch.

Have a blessed day!

They look very nice! I'm hoping to get some raspberries going too, but it may have to wait until next year, we'll see. Take care and God bless.

Isn't a garden like a new beginning every spring??! Exciting and full of possibilities! Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting on "my" baked goods. Unfortunately, I was in a hurry when I posted and just put the photos from the sites I got the recipes from as I didn't have any photos of my own. I've now posted a disclaimer on my blog that the photos aren't mine. :-) Thanks for visiting - hope you had a great Mother's Day!

That's great! I've always wanted to plant either raspberries or blueberries, but haven't as of yet.

I hope it goes well and I am sure that you'll enjoy them

God bless,
George

Jennie, I love the way you did the PVC. My dad put in poles with wire, but they are only on one side and the other side is a block wall. It isn't close enough for my blackberries to really connect with. It should be fine with my raspberries!

My raspberries are everbearing, so they are supposed to produce in the spring and fall.
