So, the raspberry bushes from my friend are still alive. Not planted, but still alive. I dug holes for each of the six plants and have the Leafgro and mulch needed to plant them. I would have planted them in the orchard today, but they are expecting sub-freezing tonight and tomorrow night. I want to give the new plants as much of a chance as I can despite their being planted a bit late in the season.
Those six holes are waiting for their new occupants to come in on Sunday.
The Boy and I also removed the deer netting from around the apple trees. I decided that the barrier is a bit small for each of the trees and need to redo the whole thing. I'll try to do that tomorrow. Yes, the deer might have quite a meal overnight, but I don't think I'll get that done this afternoon.
I also weeded the area around the base of each tree (I left the clover) to make way for mulching. Again, I want to try to trap moisture and heat for each root ball. Yes, they're a year old, but I wouldn't call them "established" just yet.
