66F as I sit here and type this. The weather has finally cooperated on a day when I can get outside sooo…. I finally got around to cleaning out the two Heritage raspberry beds. I’ll be picking thorns out of myself for days I’m sure. One bed was cut back to the ground for a [...]

A little wine for thy stomach’s sake
March 6th, 2007 · No Comments
Several years ago my partner T. suggested I try some wine for my stomach. I’ve had stomach ‘issues’ from way back and while the prescription meds do help tremendously, there are occasionally times where I need a little more. Hardly believing it would help I finally gave in and tried her suggestion. I was surprised [...]

65 Raspberry Starts
April 9th, 2006 · No Comments
The raspberries are on their way up. The bed that I decided to leave canes in for a spring/summer harvest sent up far fewer new canes than the bed I cut back to the ground. Think I’ll alternate and let one bed double crop every other year. Heritage raspberries can be double cropped. Canes will [...]

Planting Grapes and cutting back raspberries.
March 18th, 2006 · No Comments
I took full advantage of the weather today (sunny, hi in the mid 40s) to get some things done in the garden that really needed to be done. The grape vines I purchased from Miller Nurseries came in the mail this week. Candace and Reliance went into the ground at the edge of the strawberry [...]
