Raspberry Garden

April posting and current postings.  This is the before and after of our 2011 garden.

The Raspberry bushes were on sale at Walmart for $5.00 each. 

They are normally about $16 to $20 at

a plant nursery so Ma decided to buy three bushes

You just plant them in the soil inside the carton they

came in.  The carton is degradable.

                                          

            Pa decided he would make a special garden just for the Raspberry bushes.

                        It will take two years before we will get some good berries.  Orion
                         hopes they will taste good.  He does NOT like strawberries.

This is what the finished garden looks like.

You can see the three bushes.

Orion can't wait until we can actually eat the berries

                             Next, we will work on making another garden for the vegetables.

                      Orion likes vegetables.  Carrots and Corn on the cob are his favorites

Our original raspberry plants died right away,

and we had to replace them with new ones.

We decided to get one raspberry, one blackberry,

and a blueberry.  They have done really well

thanks to Pa

We grew chilli peppers,green peppers,

 and squash and a watermelon

and on the other side are all tomatoe plants.

There is nothing like fresh vegetables from your gardens

Ma expecially loves tomatoes.  They taste so much better

than store bought.  Pa loves the chilli's and bell peppers,

and Orion liked the squash shredded up and used

as a salad with ranch dressing.
