Here in the San Bernardino mountains of SoCal, rain rolled in today with 3-8 inches of snow expected through this evening, and here I thought spring arrived. Had a bunch of bare root starts that just came in and I wanted to get them into pots to get roots started and ready for planting in the ground. The PITA here is that every thing you put into the ground here, besides it filled with rocks....LOTS OF ROCKS and BIG ROCKS is the damn gophers. If you don't cage the roots those gopher will eat the roots down to numbs killing whatever you planted, brambles, fruit trees, etc.
Blackberry - Baby cakes
Raspberry - Shortcake
Gooseberry - Oregon Champion
Blueberry - Legacy
Elderberry - two varieties: Ranch & Adams
Also ready to go into the ground this season that started as bare roots last year are:
Apple trees: Braeburn, Jon-A-Red, Granny Smith, Arkansas Black
Cherry trees: two no names that I transplanted from a bad location.
Peach tree: Elberta x 2
Asian Pear: Peggy
Pear trees: Barlett
Raspberry: Bushel & Berry x 3, Shortcake
Pinon Pine (pine nut) x 5
Elderberry: Black - Sambucus niger
I'm going to be digging and lining a LOT of holes with "gopher wire" this season. Nothing like building for the future.
