1 Comment | Posted May 13, 2010 by

Today is a very exciting day, our first batch of berries arrived!

We planted a row of blueberries. Three North Blues and two Chippewas.

Ryan helped plant the raspberries. We got 6 Autumn Britten raspberries plants and 6 Caroline raspberry plants.

All in all a very successful evening. Made all the more successful because our friend Erik is in town visiting and entertained the boys while I was getting the blueberries planted.

We ordered everything from http://www.hartmannsplantcompany.com/. Their service was great, with fast and knowledgeable e-mail responses each time I had questions.

Congrats on the berry planting! We don’t have our raspberries, blueberries, or grapes in the ground yet – this weekend’s the goal. I am happy to report that our strawberries survived the freezing temps of last weekend with a cosy bedsheet to snuggle under at night. On the other hand, I chased bunnies out of the yard this week more times than I can count. I have a feeling they’re going to be reaping the benefits of our garden this year, unless we figure out some good fencing.

If you figure out any good rabbit repellers, please share!
