Did you find this info helpful? Are you growing or putting in any fruit at your place?

I have been growing raspberries for 15 years. Raspberries do spread. You will find over time they will send out suckers plants. Also make sure they get plenty of water when it gets hot or you will have small berries. Nothing better then fresh ones off bushes. I also freeze some berries to use in pancakes in the winter. Also good in muffins.

Planting raspberries and blueberries today. They're in pots. Got them 70% off at the garden center because it's fall.

My love for gardening started when i was little, then school and growing up happened and it all got forgotten. But the fire was lit again 2 years ago when i got married and we bought our first home. But then again work got in the way. But now i'm blessed with not being able to work due to this virus locking everything down. I am outside in our garden everyday, leveling out our lawn, removing weeds, edging, planting, making compostbins, raised vegetablebeds, waterfeatures and now i am getting some plumtrees, planting paspberries, ruhbarb, strawberries, vegetables and experimenting with corn in our arctic inviroment. Lovely video, great information.

Great videos I appreciate how thorough you are. You rock them boots lady!✌️

I'd love if you would do a follow up video on this reviewing your raspberry variety, what kind of production that you've had, and other tips/lessons learned.

We have a tiny(!), productive city property that we've managed to plant with 4 varieties of raspberry, 3 blueberry bushes, 2 varieties of thornless blackberry, a strawberry patch, 1 each apple, plum, pear and peach trees plus two 6 x 12 raised beds. Many flower varieties invite pollinators and birds. Our yard is well manicured yet very productive and we truly love it! My berries are in bloom and setting fruit so enjoying the bounty is short weeks away.

Thanks Melissa, it is just what I was looking for. You are doing a great job and I'm very interested in all your things that you are doing around your homestead. God bless you

yes I found it very helpful. thanks so very much. love to see the exact how to's.

I enjoyed this video very much. I love the way you go into the details about self pollination, whether you need different kinds,just one kind what the different types grow, how often they produce.You are very thorough and efficient I love your videos. I want to get so many berry bushes and apple trees, and peach 🍑 🌳 So much I want to do. Thank you for your hard work in putting these videos out I have always enjoyed watching you and doing your classes.

This is very educational and entertaining! Thanks

I love your videos! Thank You.

Good and helpful video Mellissa.

This is great thank you! I will be watching your trellising video next. I found raspberries next to our shed last summer but they were buried behind weeds and overgrown shrubs, so we just cleared all that. I want to also plant more this year. We are a family of 8 so now I know I need about 22 canes wow! We also have black berries, Elderberry, about 40 large apple and pear trees, 2 peach trees, and 5 cherry trees that I need to learn about because they only produce tiny cherries. If you know about cherry trees please do a video on how to trim and care for them.

Hi Melissa! We recently moved back to our farm in Tennessee and are starting over with fruit trees, etc. We have raspberries and thornless blackberries we brought with us from out old house. We have cherry & pears that are from when we lived here before, the pears are very fruitful! We've added figs, got some fruit last year, patio peaches, dwarf peaches, apples, pecans, plums and more cherry trees, plus elderberry bushes. I just ordered 2 pomegranate trees also. More to come in the fall! Thanks for the great videos

I am going to be planting raspberries for the first time. Trying to learn as much as I can. I already bought a raspberry plant (unplanned purchase) 😊 and am feeling a little overwhelmed with all this. I am also doing a garden for the first time in my life. I wish I started this when I was a lot younger, but I think it’s necessary to start. Thank you for posting educational videos to help people like myself.

Love your vids!!!

tx for video. always things to learn. i've been growing rasberries for over 10 years with little time to attend them. never understood how to prune them. and one thing i do not like is i now have 3 or 4 varieties all mixed which i dont recognize. i'll be learning in the future on identifying and regrouping them; my goal would be to cover all seasons.

Great info, thank you so much

Good info, as always. Might I recommend getting a microphone? It's a little hard to hear you when you're close to and looking at the camera, but near impossible when you step away or even turn away. You always have such good info I don't want to miss what you have to say. Keep up the great work!

Awesome video! I'm moving to a small homestead this summer and raspberries are on my list of things to plant in the first year.

There’s nothing more right in these dark times than a beautiful woman working the land. Much respect and thanks.

Very informative 👏

I put my sticks in the fall during the rainy season with the compost and mulch and left it alone. In the early spring I cut the stick and plant it next to the original. Again during the rainy season in the spring so I don't have to worry about watering. I mulch heavily to keep the water in

🥰. Great info 👍

Beautiful.

What a great 👌presentation and personality. She totally makes me miss the NW a bit.

Thanks Melissa. Great Video. I have inherited a 2 acre field ( south east of Ireland in a small river valley) and am planning to grow some raspberries in it. 11 plants supplies a family of 4 for a season is a good yield. The field is east facing and on a slight slope so hopefully drainage should be ok. I am thinking of planting raspberries at the highest elevation and then apple and plum trees towards the lower elevation. See how it goes. This video is very encouraging,

No way you're for the Pacific Northwest I'm out here in Canby Oregon! I am planting raspberry for the first time so that's why I am watching this video and I just subscribed what is so cool that you're from my region of the country!

I ordered tons of fruit trees, bushes and vines this year, including 24 raspberry bushes! I'm hoping to get them any day now, so perfect timing! :-D I also ordered hardy kiwi, passion fruit, paw paw, almond trees, and every berry I could imagine. (Raspberries are my favorite though.)

Seen your daughter plowing she needs to a video with you. That's how you learned and me just helping my grandmother.

I put out two thornless Blackberry plants last fall that I got from Walmart and checked on them just today. They are going to town! They are a creeper and have set several shoots burrowing in the sod. I`m going to leave them be as they seem to like their surroundings. I also planted a regular blackberry in the backyard and the only reason I can find it is I planted a blue plastic stake by it. LOTS of water at the end of my yard. Didn`t know about the root rotting thing. Makes sense.

Good information 👍

Thank you.

Thank you!

We have two varieties of blackberries, strawberries, cherries and a young "orchard" with some apple trees, and a peach tree. We have a large vegetable garden each year. Would love to add some delicious raspberries. Thanks for the info.

We've put in about 40 apple trees in our few years at our farm, in addition to a few varieties of raspberries, strawberries and blueberries. Our bees have their work cut out for them :o)

I'm in SoCal, I wish we could grow cherries! We tried the low chill varieties, but they immediately got canker.😞 We also grow a Mission fig, a Meyer and Pink Lemonade lemon, a kumquat, a blood orange, a tangerine, a Thornless lime (that isn't thornless😑), a passion fruit, three varieties of avocado, three apricots, two peaches, three Dorset apple and one Fuji apple, a Kiefer pear, a Cavendish banana, a mango, a Manzanilla Olive, strawberries, a Thornless boysenberry, a blackberry, and Baba raspberries. I'd love another variety of fig, and pear, besides a plum and almond tree next. We fit all of that fruit and our veggie garden on a 6000sqft. lot (minus the house and garage), thanks to dwarf varieties, and the practice of espalier, and other pruning techniques for standard trees. I used to live in Spokane and Cheney as a girl, if I ever wanted to live in snow again, then I'd get myself right back there!😉 But I'd miss my warm weather fruits, and I don't do well with container plants.😑

I clicked just to check out Mel, Blueberries 4ever

nice video

Hi, brought my raspberries about a year ago. The gardener takes care of them b ut think I'll give it a try myself. Leaves are always crispy, though see some re -growth of leaves below. Had a few fruit here and there. But hardly grown. mostly just staying the same in size due to dying and regrowth. How often do they need watering? And how yo u check for soil drainage? They are in full sun. Advice so much appreciated! 😁

I love growing golden raspberries. They produce from August until the end of the growing season. They are very soft though and have to be handle very carefully. My question to you. Do I treat golden rasberries the same when making jam as other berries?

I am in the Pacific NW as well. Would bunny berries (bunny poo) be a good compost for the Raspberries?

Lol e the good I fo Melissa, thank you.

Thanks this helps. But the only difference i will be planting but i will be using wood chips. I make a combination of wood chips, leaves, grass clippings, brush, chipped up in an even mixture placed 8-12 inches thick on top of the ground over the living grass and sod where i want the berries. Then it kills the existing sod like the plastic ideal you have, but not kill the microbes and fungi like the plastic does. A year or two later you just take and rake the wood chips aside where you want to plant berries, the ground will be loose and a little moist from the wood bark layer on top, just plant the berries in the ground. I suspect it will be ok that there might be a moist layer in/from the wood bark, but i think the berries will still be fine because they can send roots wherever it wants them, if they don't like that moist layer then they will send more below it instead, etc... This way the ground is already living with microbes and fungi, the mulch mixture on top of the ground supports all the life in the ground. Then after that layer of mulch begins to look all broken down after 3-5 years, add another 12 inch layer of wood chip mixture, it will keep feeding the life in the ground for the berries. It will also regulate moisture better, that moist layer is only where the woodchips meet the ground, but it has it if it needs it, fungi and microbes need it. And if the berries need it the fungi will probably deliver it as needed if the berries are getting low on water, and if there is too much the fungi will probably pump it around to absorb into the things that need it and away from things that have enough, it will equal it out and make perfect environment for the life in the ground..

Wow

Do you have deer in your area, I do so would it be fruitless,(see what I did there?) to even try to grow some raspberries? How do you decide what varieties to plant , I can't find info on thornless, seedless, sweetness, where do I look?

I planted a bunch of raspberries in a raised garden about 2 months ago. I was wondering if you have to clip the tops? I haven't seen any growth or leaves or anything yet so I was wondering if you had to do that in order for it to start sprouting

I live in oregon and am indecisive. How many different kind of raspberries plants do you recommend i grow?

Why are my yellow and black raspberries are doing so much better than my red? I live 30 miles east of Portland if area has any relevance. Do the yellows tolerate more or less moisture perhaps?

I got just 4 root plants and 2 already leafed plants.Do all of them get full sun?

I discovered a great collection of videos that will help you at Grape Grower Folio

nice looking soil, where I live, I would have tilled up two yds of stone and rock.

SO COOL . YOU USE THAT MACHINE TO GET RID OF GRASS. WHAT KIND MACHINE YOU USE? WHERE CAN PURCHASE?

How long does it take to get berries ? I planted some raspberries (Caroline), from root, in the spring of 2020. I planted another one , from root spring 2021 I can’t remember this variety. This past summer 2022, I still have sticks ! The one planted in 2020 did get a few leaves on it but that’s it. Looking forward to more growth this season (2023).

❤❤❤❤❤

What kind of tiller is that??

Hi! Thank you for the video. Quick question. I cannot find elemental sulphur in my area so i will have to drive far to get it. All thry have is aluminum sulphate. But you said not to use anything alumminum. Can you please explain why. Is it toxic for humans? I heard aluminum exposure can cause alzheimer, however aluminum is in a compound state, not pure.

I am just about to transfer some raspberry bushes form a pot into my soil, now my soil is very high in alkaline 8.0 . I got some aluminum sulphur, you mentioned that it’s not good, but because my alkaline is so high, would it be ok?

can you grow them in containers? how big containers do you need? what variety is this?

CleR description/ my question is how long will this crop grew raspberries after the first year

Does it still work, CAUSE I got rasberrys and I just made a hole and threw the rasberrys in and watered it

Very helpful video, thanks. How about blackberries? Would you plant the same ?

I am thinking of getting an orange tree and maybe a lime tree. I think i live in zone 6 not sure though. Panhandle of Florida.

Please I want to know if I can leave the suckers alone and they should grow out as a new plant? Thank you for your time

great video. I am wondering if raspberries can grow in containers?

how long the raspberry will live? im in canada too much snow and cold. thanks

How crucial is it to keep the bed weed free??? Any tips???

😍👍💓

can raspberry grow in a tropical climate that has a high rate of rain?

Great video. I would like to do this but don't know where to order berries. Can anyone help?

Oh my! Youre so beautiful😍😍😍

Does your new book cover berry care?

I transplanted my raspberry from a pot to the ground. Now the leaves are turning yellow. I live in the PNW, town of Roy. How can I save my raspberry. I got them from a friend.

Where do you buy your berry plants

Great video Melissa! You probably should improve the audio somewhat. I hear what you say, but there are moments when you move away from the camera your voice becomes more distant. Nevertheless, your message is clear enough for followers to learn your craft. Thanks for your teachings.

Is it ok to plant raspberries on a hill? Or will the water drain too much?

hI Melissa, I live in Pacific County WA. do you have a favorite Raspberry that produces an abundance of berries?

How to prepare grassy soil for crops

Do I need to cut the plants back every year or not

I wish to do working with you.

How in the hell is this girl not wearing a coat when there's SNOW ON THE GROUND?! I admire you Northerners. Florida Man

They’re re gonna spread

I have raspberries that already have leaves there about 6 to 8 inches tall what do I do?

Thank u for not rambling on before getting to it.

I need to find a women like you to help me in the garden!!😎

Great video but one thing. When you plant you should lay your root down lengthwise instead of in a straight hole

Didn't understand what the sulfur is for?

I just got a discount at Wallyworld. $5 raspberry and blackberry plants. IDK what to do w/ them here at the start of fall.

Your soo beautiful

Forget the raspberries do you have a sister?

My soil pH is over eight and my raspberries are fine

According to the reviews, the ph tester you link to at Amazon is junk.

Melisa. Get a bcs tiller. Your a pro gardener. Get rid of that. And get a pro tiller.

I like your vids but please get a microphone. I strain to hear you.

Everytime you turn I can't hear you
