Everbearing Yellow Raspberry....a sad update... :(

On Sunday afternoon i noticed my EYR was wilting.... curiosity led me to pull it up...and what a shock i got....the roots were full of white ants/termites.... i quickly washed them off and planted it in another pot....praying it will survive....




Come Monday April 8th ...my good spirits returned with the arrival of Quinalt Strawberry and Sweet Cherry bareroot plants.... planted them the same day...hope they will thrive well...inshaa Allah
