This weekend I was given several rooted blackberry and raspberry bushes. These were mature canes in
winter dormancy. I got two beds planted, mulched and fenced off before the rains came in. The rains soaked in the roots nicely for more winter sleep.
I am hoping by summer these plants will be strong again and bear fruit. I love these berries. Worth the effort of dealing with thorns, ticks and snakes to get them. And sharing my bounty with other berry fans.
What a wonderful gift. Nothing better than your own fresh berries. :)
