Wow, what a huge job. I always minimize in my imagination how long a project will take. From researching the project to shopping for materials to building and planting, this took WAY more time and money than I expected!
But it looks GREAT! Lots of peat moss should give these raspberries a lovely acidic environment in which to flourish. I'm SO excited to see what kind of fruit we get through the summer and into the fall. I don't have a clue what varieties may grow because the lady we got them from didn't know. I like to know, but in this case, I'll have to waive my love of nomenclature for another time.
We also planted Hamamelis x intermedia 'Pallida', thanks to Sweet Boy for digging the hole. I got it balled and burlapped at my favorite nursery for 50% off a few weeks ago! One of my favorite plants, I love the winter blooms and branching pattern, the gorgeous leathery leaves in the summer and beautiful fall color.
