I went ahead and put in my order tonight. :)

I couldn’t resist! I had to get a 3 year old blueberry bush, too!

A three year old blueberry bush sounds wonderful. I’m hoping you get fruit this year from a plant that size. Blueberry muffins - yum!

My raspberries were little bareroot twigs when we first put them in. By the third year they were big producers.

A word of advice from old timers that I’ve found to be so true:

First year, sleep (putting roots down), Second year, creep (slow top growth), third year, leap, when plants take off.

I’ve gardened enough to find sleep, creep, leap is pretty much true in my zone 4 climate. Raspberries are an exception, though. You’ll get a few the first year, then watch out! LOL
