Today's project: get all of these plants into the ground! My first mail-order plants include Heritage and Bristol Raspberries, Coville Blueberries, Nova & York Elderberries, and a lone Melody White Grape vine. I found an online raspberry guide, but the suggestion that we plant them 300 feet away from wild plants is totally impossible.
We also have a kitchen table burdened with sprouted veggy and flower starters, all waiting for this snowy cold weather to go away. It's been rain, snow, rain, snow for over a week now. Lake Zeke, a section of lawn which transforms into a pond during winter melt, is on its fourth manifestation this Spring.

They are in, but, as these things often do, it took more than the few hours and the project grew in scope. I decided to plant the raspberries along the front stonewall, which lead to a day's worth of rock digging and lugging and then soil preparation. Beautiful weather for it. Actually it's not quite done, today I pick up bark mulch to finish off the areas.
