Got these for 5 bucks each at Tractor supply the other day.

We want to plant them near our aquaponics system, but with it not complete we could not put it where we want it. So I put them in some barrels and made a stand that could be moved by the tractor.

Got all the Raspberries planted, need more drums to plant the Legacy Blueberries, Niagara Grapes, Concord Grapes, and Arlen Blueberries. Going to cut the drums differently for the other one's. The wife is going to pick me up 4 more barrles tomorrow and I am going to cut them the other direction. Will post pics of those when done. I just put them near my house for now and put a temporary fence up around them to keep the chickens out.

The drum on the far left side of the pic has sweet banana peppers, Jalapeno peppers, white onions, and yellow onions.

Here you can see where my tractor forks slide under them so I can move the where ever I decide to put them.

Good score on the plants. I also like the Texas raised beds.

I picked up 3 of those raspberry plants myself the other day...which is actually 6 plants since there are 2 plants in each container. I love making raspberry jam. Yummy. Awesome idea putting them so you can pick them up and move them.

Well got them all planted. Sent the wife for the barrels, and she picked up even more plants. Now we have2 of each of these Arlen Blueberry, Legacy Blueberry, Niagra Grapes, Logan Raspberry, Chester (thornless) blackberry, Concord Grapes, Fall Gold Raspberry, Heritage Raspberry, and Latham Raspberry. Also put up a temporary fence to keep the chickens out. None of these are in their permenant location. They will all be moved. Most near the aquaponics system, but the grapes and such may go in the back yard where we are going to put our outdoor sitting area.
