Peaches and Raspberries

[DoubleDogFarm]

Never happy and one is never enough!

The bare root fruit trees arrived at the local lumber yard / hardware. Hard to drive by without one jumping into the truck. Frost Peach this time. Brought it home and planted. Stood back and looked at where I planted it. One day this will shade the raspberries. So what do you do. Yep! you move the raspberries.

I moved the raspberries along the vegetable garden fence, between the fence and main path.

Then a covered the soil with cardboard.

Last step was about 3 large wheelbarrows full of horse manure.

With the raspberry patch moved maybe a couple more fruit trees will sneak into the truck.

Looks great Eric. What kind of raspberries you growing?

Bare roots haven't shown up locally yet, but I just ordered a few from Raintree. I'm closing in on 20 trees. They sure add up fast. No fruit to show for it yet except a few mulberries and a fig.

Had a big old flock of Robins and several other birds all over the yard today. The blasted Starlings showed up too...

Spring is just around the corner.

Thank you,

I think the raspberries are a mixture of Red Heritage and Summit. The last couple of seasons have been poor. It may be time to buy fresh stock.

I'm in the 50 plus range on fruit / nut trees. Raintree, Burntridge, Bear Creek, Vibrants Plants Inc., Lawyer Nursery Inc and locally. The last two nursery are through my brother, he has a nurseryman's license.

I have some rasberries and other cane types all the canes look semi dead for winter do you cut them all back for new canes?

And what's that little shingled house in the ground?
