Deuteronomy 11:18-19

18 Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 19 Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

Moving the Raspberry Plants...

What a chore!! LOL. But it's DONE!! Here is the line of holes for the raspberry plants. This is our west side fence line. The building you see is our neighbors shop. :) The line of raspberries goes about 200 feet down this fence line. There is a gap where the 'hill' is. SO the raspberries go from the end of the building here down the property line to the hill, skip the hill, and on the other side about 60 feet. Hopefully we will soon have a LOT of raspberries :) The last few years we've had to keep the kids out on days we want berries but now they'll probably have free range :)
Yes we know the line is not straight. The roots of trees long since gone got in the way of a straight line and we are ok with that.
The post hole digger we used to dig the holes on this side of the hill. The other side Papa dug by hand with a post hole clam shell digger.. this thing is MUCH faster and nicer!! And yes I held on to the other two handles.. 34 weeks pg and all. I was A BIT sore the next day and I'm not planning on doing it anytime again soon :)
Here they are all planted and fenced in. The black hose is a soaker hose so that we don't have to worry about getting a sprinkler there.
Here is the other side. Looking at the hill. We moved the raspberries out of the garden area so that we could convert the old garden to grass as the roof shades it too much for a garden spot. Besides that it makes a great hedge on the fence line :)
