Del: I don't think you want to transplant berries unless they are dormant 
both when they come out and go back into the ground.  It sounds as if the
plants you tried to share were in an active phase of growth.  I think I would 
wait until early spring, as soon as you can get a spade into the
ground.  Rgds, Don Yellman
