New Berries Going In

I have been waiting on these plants since forever.

Reading all the instructions to make sure we do it right.  Soak the bare-root plants in warm water.

Carefully trim all the dead stuff off.  I had a helper.

Trim the roots to about three inches.

50 plants...two different types of berries.

These are the berry plants we planted in the first bed.

 

There were a few plants from last year along the edges.

Bed number two had Seascapes in it.

I can still stand and bend over to work in the garden.  Counting my lucky stars.

I'm talking to every plant.

(Geez, look at all of that gray)

All done.  Now just waiting on the blooms which I have to remove the first year.  The plants need to build up strength so next year they will produce better berries.
