I could use some. I'm planning to start a patch. Is the ground even thawed
enough yet, though?

Hi All,



I am planning on digging some raspberry bushes this weekend, and would
like to offer them free to anyone who is interested in starting a patch.
These are "special" not because of their ability to grow in outer space
or anything amazing, but because they are part of a large patch tended
by my grandfather and uncle since 1991. Both Gramps and Uncle Scott
passed away in 2006 and I would be very happy to see their work live on
in years to come. We are preparing to sell the house, so this is a
one-time offer.



They are VERY prolific bushes; bearing large, flavorful, deep-red fruit.
I do not know the variety but are growing very well in Beaver Dam, so
would likely do well in the Madison area.



Please respond to me by Friday with any requests. The amount I can give
each person depends on how many people respond, as there is only so much
room in the back of my Subaru.



Be well and happy, happy Spring,



Benjamin Sommers
