I made it out this afternoon to a nursery near-by and bought a couple raspberry bushes. They were $25 each and from a novice's stand point looked good. I then got more topsoil at Home Depot and noticed they actually did sell Raspberry bushes there too. Theirs were $7 each and looked pretty pathetic - just one dry stick sticking out of a box. Mine have a bunch of healthy looking moist sticks as well as green leafy shoots coming out of a nice pot of fertilized soil and thick with roots. I think I did right buy paying more here.
I ran into a bit of a bump in planting the first bush - next to the drain pipe buried in the ground for the eave of the roof. I knew it was there, just didn't know the extent of it or how shallow it was. So my bush is not centred. Oh well?
I guess I just have my tomatoes left to plant. I decided it would be a good time to try and clean up my beds and remove some of the rocks as right now they resemble more of a rock garden than flower or veggie garden. I hate all the spider-web-like roots in there too, so I am grooming the beds now (at least on the surface as I know there are MANY more below the top) to look more earthy than gravel-y.
