Enjoying the sights, sounds and smells of first-time parenthood. Progress on the vegetable garden and other ramblings of a gaijin in Japan’s least populous prefecture.
The allotted patch isn’t great, however it is a distance from the rest of veg. Earlier six raspberry plants were transplanted. About a tenth of the number of mosquito bites I picked up. The canes are dry and only one has some leaves, albeit limp ones. Nevertheless, they might perk up and should fare better than their cardboard box home.

Oh! Raspberries. I wish yours well. Keep us posted.
My farmers’market sells then in pint boxes with 1/2 half blueberries, the other half raspberries. Always a treat!

Don’t leave them in the garage for a couple of weeks during the summer.
Blueberries seem more popular than raspberries here. Really going to have to keep my fingers crossed for these.
