Golden Raspberries

My neighbor Roberta called me the other day to let me know she has a bunch of Golden Raspberry bushes for me if I'll come by and dig them out.  Today was the day--at 9 a.m., it was pouring down rain, but I put on my old jeans, boots and hooded jacket, and drove down with the truck and a big shovel.  It only took about 10 minutes to dig out 8 nice-sized plants, and I drove them home.

Tomorrow, I am adding compost to the new raspberry patch I'm creating for these, and I'll get them in the ground.  It will be fun to have two varieties for next season.

Here's some info about this variety.

Golden Raspberries (Rubus) are a mutant version of the popular red cultivar and have all the same planting, growing, soil and sunlight requirements. There are several different varieties, including Fall Gold, Golden Harvest and Honey Queen, all producing a light yellow sweet berry. I am planting Golden Harvest berries.
