I welded pieces of steel angle to make more trellis supports. These are nice and strong and don’t look bad either. Next, I dug up 2 bushes that weren’t in an ideal location.  I was pleased to see  that were easily separated in to multiple plants.  So now I have 6 more blackberry bushes along the eastern fence of the font garden.

The way plants work is amazing to me! I realized our oak tree is growing roots all the way to the raised beds. The oak tree is 12 ft from the driveway. The driveway is 16 ft wide and its roots are growing all the way across. I was able to pull one of the roots up and it was 14 ft long and running just below the surface under the wood chips. I think I found tree roots in every hole I dug!
