What we have learned in 3 years about how to grow raspberries

GardenKim Brush11 Comments

I've always wanted a berry patch.  Strawberries aren't too bad to purchase but others can cost an arm and a leg!  We've had vegetables gardens and flower gardens but never a berry patch.  In our current home we've had the fun adventure of creating a patch that has given us good return!  Not quite where we don't need to buy any berries but that is my ultimate goal!  We are 3 years in to this adventures and I want to share our tips for growing raspberries learned from our good and bad experiences.

My garden was a failure this year

This year I had major physical challenges and planning problems to overcome and looking back I can see several reasons why my garden was a failure this year. 

I think it is super important to evaluate what went right and what didn’t work each year.  I want to record the problems and what I will do differently in the future.
