Good Morning Farmgirls,
I love this place and all the great information. I cannot wait until our farmhouse is done and livable. I do have questions...anyone know how to transplant asparagus? start bittersweet? blueberries? black raspberries? I believe I have enough room to grow such things now. I do have a great asparagus patch now and would love to transplant some of it to the new home.
I have so many ideas that you are all an inspiration. I just keep reading and clicking to websites, blogs, etc. and then have to find my way back to where I started--MaryJanes Farm!
Great day
Jack

If you go and get a start of black raspberries in the spring when it is starting to grow the strongest, you should just be able to put some rooting hormone and it will grow like a weed! They are wonderful! I don't know how to trasplant aparagus or bittersweet though. I am sure some ladies here will know though! Have you tried asking down in "Garden Gate"?

Hi Jack! I love this place too! Your asparagas should dig up easily in clumps. separate into smaller clumps and replant the clumps in the new area that has about the same amount of sunshine and as deeply as the original patch. I know nothing about bittersweet, sorry. However, transplant your berries, both blu and black, while they are dormant. prune them and dig them up. you can plant them temporarily in pots until you are ready to plant. if you have 'bare-rooted" them, which is removed all the soil, which makes the move much, much lighter, then keep them moist and plant asap. I have had much better luck with the planting in pot method and I recommend that method over bare rooting which tends to dry out and then die to easily. Best of blessings on you and your new home, karen

| Thanks! I appreciate the advise so much. I hope my asparagus grows at the new home because a lot of people will be disappointed if it doesn't! My family & friends loves it. I can't wait to walk in the woods to see what is growing-hopefully I will find bittersweet growing alredy. |
