You can take the boy out of the Farm but you can't take the farm out of the boy

Last night I went and got some raspberry plants from a friend of mine. I am going to plant them tonight in my garden and hopefully I can load them up with fruit. We will see what happens. The garden as a whole is just about done. I still need to plant things like the tomatoes and the carrots but I have to say it is almost to the point of turning on the watering timer and letting it run.

I love to work in the garden. To make things grow is a fascination to me. If Lisa would live on a farm I would be a farmer without a moments hesitation. Oh well I guess I can feed my obsession with growing things in the garden and have Lisa all at the same time.

We've been getting the garden ready too. We can't put plants out for a few more weeks yet. We planted 2 apple trees yesterday, which I'm excited about. I've wanted to do it for a long time. I wish we had space for raspberries. I miss them, but we do have some nice people in the ward who share them with me because they know how much I LOVE them! I'd love to do blueberries too but they need acidic soil, so I'd have to constantly be putting stuff on them. Oh well.

We always had raspberry plants growing up. I still cannot make myself by raspberries at the store because they are so expensive and we always had way more than we could eat.

I thought you were coming to New Mexico to get raspberries from the old farm.

I had wanted to get Raspberries from the farm but Uncle Dave said they had about all died out.
