Good Job on the plantings!

Also what KK said on the wood/bark. It won't "add" anything to the soil and will rob the soil of beneficial ingrediants. Raspberry plants aren't too sensitive, but until they are well estabished, I would just leave the soil exposed and add fertilizer. You'll be hoeing newly sprouted weeds for a little while now since the soil has been disturbed, so why put stuff in your way?

I need to get out and cane mine....but, but, but there are fish to chase.
