Raspberry, Rose & Honeysuckle

Posted on Tuesday, May 13, 2008 at 12:18 in Gardening

My son wanted to plant something in a half whiskey barrel that we had, so he decided on a Raspberry plant.  We got one that was a year of so old from the plant store in town.  It already had blossoms all over it and it has little green berries all over it now.

I went to a garage sale last weekend, and the homeowner had honeysuckle next to the garage.  I told her how nice it smelled and that I want to plant it along my fenceline, so she pulled several growths up and gave them to me.  I planted one at each fencepost.

This is my Blaze Climbing Rose that I planted on the same fenceline last summer:

Here is the fenceline.  I'll post a picture of it one of these years when it's covered in roses and honeysuckle:
