#not surprising since they're a great companion plant and actually have really fucking cute leaves

[ghostlyfoliage]

I'm finally going to have it.

I've waited and waited for this nursery in Portland that does online sales to actually have it in stock...

and I bought two creeping raspberries!!!

They're a fruiting ground cover that has some drought tolerance AND is a nitrogen trapper! I'm going to plant them directly under the serviceberry.

Also: 3/4 of the trees I planted last year are waking up. The goji berry was surprisingly the first to actually pop some leaves but it also got pretty heavily mulched by the pine tree last year and is probably a bit warmer than the others at it's roots.

#I'M SO FUCKING EXCITED #i have been looking for this plant EVERYWHERE #they're used really commonly in Portland... like all over the place but barely anyone sells them online #i could only find two shops with fruiting varieties and they're usually sold out #not surprising since they're a great companion plant and actually have really fucking cute leaves #the berries are also really good though they're orange rather than red #but taste pretty much the same as a regular raspberry
