הלעיטני נא מן-האדם האדם הזה

A project of mine over the past two years has been the rehabilitation of my family's raspberry patch. When we first moved into this house a decade ago, the patch was thriving. But over the years it was somewhat neglected and it burned itself out. Seeing what was happening, I started to lavish some TLC (Tender Loving Care) on the small, bedraggled remaining canes. This TLC includes annual applications of fertilizer, vigilant pruning of old canes, laying mulch around the bases of the canes, and even occasional watering. Now I'm finally seeing the fruits of my labours. The new growth this year is overwhelmingly tall and leafy, and the old growth is giving us a satisfactory amount of berries. Needless to say, I'm quite pleased.
