I needed to do some berry vine transplanting as raspberry plants were overgrowing my blueberry patch with vines. And my raspberry patch was sparse of plants in some spots so it could use the new berry plants from the blueberry patch.
Raspberry patch
You can see the raspberry patch could use some more berry plants.
Blueberry patch
Here’s the blueberry patch with all the raspberry vines growing in it that need to be dug up to transplant to the raspberry patch.
I dug some holes in the raspberry patch first.
The new holes look like the gophers have been in here.
Raspberry plants dug up
I then dug up all the raspberry plants in the blueberry patch and put them in the wheelbarrow for transport to the raspberry patch ready for planting.
Of coarse I needed a few breaks during all this work but I kept at it throughout the day.
Raspberry plants transplanted
I finally got all the new raspberry plants in the ground in the raspberry patch.
I finished planting the berries with a good watering which I will do again tomorrow too to make sure they get a good start.
Blueberry plant transplanting
Back to the blueberry patch I needed to move these two small blueberry plants to a better spot out in the middle of the blueberry patch.
That was easy digging as it’s all mulched so I got that done fairly easy and now the blueberry patch is cleaned up good enough. I plan to put some fertilizer on the transplanted blueberry plants maybe tomorrow. I’d like to get the small plants to grow out some more.
Potato bonus
I was able to collect these potatoes out of the blueberry patch that the chickens dug up for me yesterday when I let them into the patch to do their thing and tear the place up.
All that was more work than I expected so I was beat by the end of the day.
Eating grapes my way
My grapes are getting ripe. I eat them as soon as they get ripe enough to eat by picking the ones off the bunch as they ripen. That way I get most of them. If they are left to all get ripe the critters might get them all so I’ve learned to eat them this way and I get them sooner too.
Doesn’t matter
I thought I’d get more done today but hey I’m retired so it doesn’t matter.
Hi Nancy,
Yes traveling can get in the way of a garden. Sometimes I miss something real good getting ripe when I’m gone but that’s ok as the next year they get ripe they’re even better.
Welcome,

Header Pictures
There are over a hundred pictures that are served up randomly every time you visit or change pages. They are of earlier pictures of interest and also some just to remind me of things.
A Sony AX33 4K, a video camera that takes stills too. What am I doing with that? I take pictures from my Kayak a lot. I found I was missing interesting shots, because my pic was being processed in my camera, before it would let me take another pic. Since I like to take what I call action stills, I bought this camera to take videos, that I could make stills out of, but, as a bonus, this camera also came with buttons to just take stills and that's what I mostly do, unless something is real interesting or too far away for my still zooms. My digilat zoom setting for video goes to two hundred x, and sometimes I need that, but usually, I only use the 10x lens zoom. Because this camera is HD and 4K, the quality has to be real good and it has a lot of stabilizers on it which really helps out a lot for taking pics on the water.
The other thing it has that is a must is a view finder and I had to buy Sony's top of the line cam to get it. This is a must for taking pics on the water, as you must hold the camera as still as posible and putting that eye piece to the eye forms a tripod with your arms that helps a lot. The eye piece is also a must as it works way better than a LED screen to see what you are taking a picture of in the daylight as the LED screens wash out easily in sunlight.
I also have another video camera, a Canon VIXIA G30. I use them both to mostly take stills. The Sony takes higher resolution stills than the G30. That was a bit of a disappointment as I bought the G30 to replace an older camera I dunked in the river, but then had to buy the Sony to get higher still picture resolution that the G30 was lacking.
New reader here. Oh how I would love to have your garden, but I travel too much. I can definitely relate to being tired and retired!!
