the berry patch

So the last few weeks have been incredibly hectic and busy which is why i havent posted in ages. I recieved my berry order two weeks ago and have been planting berries and trees since then. I planted 1000 day neutral strawberry plants and 500 raspberry canes of a few different varieties. These pictures show the slow progression from freshly tilled soil to the end result of 10 fully planted beds. The first top pictures shows a close up of the soil here and how the berry patch looked before i mulched and planted it. The next ones show some of the raspberry canes soaking before planting which helps to reduce the show shock of transplantation and my self tilling the last row. The last three pictures show the boxes the berries were deleivered in and then myself planting raspberry canes the last shows the finished rows of strawberries. The strawberries seem to be doing great and are showing a lot of growth so far as they begin to settle into the soil. The raspberries will take a few more weeks to begin to show new growth as they grow much slower than strawberries as each grows over the spring and summer i will post further on there progress. My next post will show the other main project project of the last few weeks and detail a surprise opportunity that i recently had.
