This year, we planted grapes, blueberries, raspberries, huckleberries, salmonberries and two pear trees. Yah, not creating a Christmas song, just that we are trying to get more fruit than just apples and blackberries off our property. Of course, we planted them a couple weeks after the usual "last frost" and before the late snow storm that we had. UGH! The grapes and the raspberries seemed to suffer the most because they were the most exposed for the full sun effect.
I thought the grapes were totally wiped out, and well the raspberries were trying to make a come back. I would check them every other week in hopes. One raspberry came back and one is limping along. This past few weeks, the grapes just started to sprout new growth from the top, as well as a sucker came up from the roots. So, hopefully, in a few years, we will have more berries, grapes, pears, and if that cherry tree ever figures itself out, we might get some bing cherries, too.
You know me by now... I'm not a good gardener, but I give it my all, hope for the best, and every once in a while, something actually grows. So we shall see if these all survive.
