Late Night Endeavour

Here are the raspberry starts we planted last night. After the third time planting raspberries here, we sure hope they live this time!

Ted also inherited a tree from Quinton (our neighbor), so we planted it in the front of our house with the raspberries. It is supposed to grow really big, but we will see if we can keep it alive first.

Our late night endeavour last night was planting some raspberry starts in our yard. It has been a plan of ours for a while, and we have actually planted raspberries there twice before, but this time we got some really big ones from our neighbor Quinton Murdock, and he says there is no way we can kill these ones. We did everything we could think of to help them live and grow. We even put horse manure down and rototilled it in with the soil for fertilizer. Well, last night I was also winterizing our lawn with fertilizer and some weed killer, and Ted thought it would be a good idea to put some fertilizer on the starts to help them grow, and the weed killer would keep the weeds out. So, he spread a couple handfuls over the area we planted the starts in, and called it good. Well, after he did that, he remembered that the weed killer actually kills broad leaf, and raspberries would fit into that category. So, we are hoping that he didn't put too much on them or else we will be starting over again for the fourth time next year. I think that Quinton will either laugh at us or cuss us for killing so many of his raspberry starts if we do kill them again. Anyway, long story, I know, but it was a fun night getting those all done. I had to take the pictures this morning, because it was way too dark to get a picture of them last night. Well, hope all of your house and late night projects work out too!
