Back hurts. Have finished preparing bed for raspberries, however. Nice big raised mounds, and I used the sod I cut to make sort of walls for the mounds, so they'd stay high even when I water them, rather than melting. I am so tired, however, that I don't want to go and actually plant the damn things now. But, the beds are ready.

Have also done 3 loads of laundry, sun-drying it all, and 2 dishwasher-loads of dishes, and numerous pots and pans by hand, and also wrote 300 words, which isn't very much, but is more than I've written in the last, ehm, week.

Suffice to say, I am a God-damned miracle unto myself, and if Z is not appreciative come raspberry season, I am trading him in.

Ye gods, I'm bushed.

I still have to plant beets and radishes, however.

You know you aren't likely to get many raspberries for a couple of years? Although there's nothing like a handful of them straight out of the garden.

Make sure they get *plenty* of water after the flower sets, so the berries are big and juicy.

No, I don't expect we'll have much of a harvest this year, but at least we've got them in now. Hopefully we'll be here long enough now to enjoy them!
