Granny's gone and done it again

I need to dig 4 post holes 28" deep and 11-12" in diameter and it seems like an impossible job today. I'm going to try and dig one at a time and rest between holes. Got to set the large wood posts in cement that are the end supports to the trellis wire that will eventually support up to nearly 500lbs of muscadine grapes.
 
I bought 6 raspberries that I can sell plants off of locally and 4 patented plants that I can only grow for us. Illegal to sell plants from them. Most of our muscadines are under a patent so I can only sell plants from the one that came with the property that is very very old and I know that it is not a patented variety. Its and old line wine & jam variety that has excellent flavor and hold color well after processing into jam.
Will you sell some to me, Larry? Pm me if so.
 
HOW TO GIVE YOUR CAT A PILL:

AL has a Serama association that has shows here. I'd like to go to one and maybe just maybe find some one who has some to sell or maybe some hatching eggs. Better yet finding three places that have unrelated flocks and a dozen eggs from each place. I can visualize our sun room turned into a serama coop.
I tried Seramas, once.
They didn't do well in the winter. Even though I had a heat lamp. :(
