Blueberries, Rasberries, Boysenberries

This past weekend we finally, after 13 years, planted some fruit in the yard. I bought bareroot plants, and wheedled, cajoled, and bribed my roomies to help put them in. One of them I didn't give any notice to, so he couldn't talk me out of it *again*. I only fell down once while planting the blueberry bushes.

I checked on them this morning. So far, so good, they look like they are settling in nicely.

Mmmmmmm... Wow, those cherries have been on a (mumble) year bender!! I do remember something about stained fingers... you put the cherry in the little gismo, then push down the plunger, and theoretically the pit pops out the other end.

My roomie [livejournal.com profile] datapard and I sometimes do wander up to Reno. She's into slots. We don't do it in the early spring, however. The last time we tried we got stuck in a snowstorm around Truckee, in her little bitty Ford Festiva...
