I have been spending a lot of time in the past couple of months turning my thumb green. I planted a blackberry & blueberry garden. I put in 7 arapaho blackberry, 7 brazos blackberry, and 3 various blueberries. Almost all of them are budding already and it's only been 3 weeks since I put them in the ground. They won't produce this year, but I may get some next year. I planted with the intent of making wine from these blackberries. I modified the sprinkler system so I have a soaker hose running by each plant under the layer of mulch.
I never have been much of a gardener, but it has been very relaxing putting it all together and maintaining it. There's something primal about having your hands in the earth and mud.
