If there are still any bags at CAC, I could pick them up today.

Hi Katherine,

Yup, there are a few bags left here at Spaight. Take two if you want, as I
think a few others have not come by yet either. With the cold nights coming, it
will important to get them back in the ground ASAP. I hope they grow well for
you.

Ben

Hey Ben, sorry I haven't picked up my raspberries yet. Last week was kind of
crazy. Are there still bags at your house on Spaight?
