Re: Grapes and Raspberries (transplanting)

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Take cuttings of last year's wood.  The best ones are the base of the shoot,
closest to the old wood.  They should have at least 3 buds or more, and
should be 12 to 15 inches long ( more or less).  Cut them flat at the
bottom, close below a but, and cut the top diagonally about an inche above
the bud, to help identify the top later.  Wrap in moist paper or pack with
damp peat in a plastic bag and store in the refrigerator.  If you want
complete grape rooting instructions, I have them for a SASE and $1.00 (see
my web site for address)
  Raspberries can be moved, and the clump divided.  Get as many roots as
possible.  Also, look to see if any of the old canes touched the ground last
fall and tip layered (rooted).  Those little layered plants are the easiest
and best starts.  Cut them loose and pot them up for transport.
