Raspberries and Trellises!




I had a sudden burst of energy today. I made four 18" inch boxes to surround my raspberries. I planted two bushes today, the ever-bearing variety so I should have some of my favorite fruit by late July! I will plant two more bushes but I want Royalty Raspberries and haven't found them yet. Those won't produce fruit until next year anyway.

I transplanted the first of the things I started inside. I moved out onions, bunching onions, and all the tomato plants. A few of the plants aren't quite big enough to move yet.

I also build 1.5 trellises for the plants I want to grow vertically. It's only 1.5 because I had a DV with one of the pieces of electrical conduit and re-bar. The darn things got stuck together and nothing I could think of could get them apart. Therefore, I only completed one of the trellises. I've decided I need to build another one anyway for my melons (that is if I can get them to grow), so I have to go back to Home Depot. ...Not that I need an excuse to go there :)
