Raspberries moved!

Cross it off the perpetual chore list, baby!

I had spent 3-4 hours digging, digging, digging, in an attempt to make a new bed for the raspberries.
The ground was so hard that it was very slow going.
Enter my rescuer!

Hooray!
The backhoe made quick work of the digging.

I smoothed it out, then started digging up those raspberries.

I kind of thought there would be room to purchase a few more to plant.
Silly me. They were so packed in there by the house, they filled up the entire space just by themselves.
Granted, I did plant them all in a line down the middle.
I'm hoping that will make staking them up easier next spring.
I decided not to prune them yet, either.
I'm hoping they'll get settled in to their new digs (literally-ha!) before winter.
I think they look so much better!
So does the back flowerbed, for that matter.
HOORAY!
