I’m amazed how much just an hour or so of gardening does me in. It would be so bad if we were just doing clean-up and such, but it’s digging and transplanting. I know they’re pretty hardy (the berry bushes), but I use the fork to loosen them and then you really have to put your back into it to get them out. The new bed is done with six large clumps of mixed canes. It’s a mix of the old canes, plus new ones that have rooted everywhere. Boysenberries are not unlike blackberries - they grow long runners in the summer that if you don’t watch it tip into the ground. By next spring you’ve got a new plant. And then the lovely thing is blooming and you don’t have the heart to pull it out, because you’ll lose the fruit you know. Three or four years later it’s suddenly got 8″ plus of tap root. I’ll clean up the bed we aren’t touching tomorrow and see if there are any gaps. Then I’m going to see if any of the neighbours want the clumps we’ll have left.
