Here is a photo of all the cultivars right after I planted them all into the new raised bed:

All the plants except one were double fans (or more). The photo above was taken the beginning of October 2015.

Here is a photo of what that raised bed looks like now. I have noticed (even with fertilizing) that the plants always seem like they are resting this time of year. The foliage rarely dies completely back (with possibly the exception of hard dormants). But neither of the missing plants are dormants, so I sure hope I didn't lose them. I've had Raspberry Beret since August 2014 and it had been growing in a nursery pot until I planted it into the raised bed this past October. The aphid attack was the only problem I saw with them since planting them. It was a very bad infestation which I didn't catch right away because of the holidays distraction and all the rain we have been having.

Please ignore the cinder blocks in the photo and the messy area around the raised bed. I am using them for the sheet covers on the cold nights to keep the wind from blowing them off. I will be replacing all the grass this Spring around the outside of the raised bed, when the mulch bags go on sale. I do everything in steps due to my budget and sales events. Thumbs up

I have at least 1 dormant in that raised bed. It is Persian Pattern. The leaves also disappeared, but they are coming back now:

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
