@Jennifer, thanks for the raspberry advice…I need to find a place for them where they are closer to the house. Right now they are at the very back of the yard so I rarely get back there to pick them. It’s really all about my laziness.

I’d suggest NOT giving prime veggie-growing soil to raspberries, if you can help it! They don’t need anywhere near as much light as veggies, plus they’ll grow in any old yuck for soil. My overgrown patch is in the shade of the garage, gets a lot of water running off the driveway, but nothing really by way of attention… and it’s doing great!

@Sigrun, wow, now THERE’s an image! We didn’t clean out the dead canes last year, either, so it’s a bit tricky to find the good stuff. You’re right, though, TOTALLY worth it!

We’re behind your season, but any day now….. I will have to go out to the berry patch in chain mail and body armor as I didn’t have time to clean last year’s canes. but it will be worth every scratch. DH won’t know if I’m bleeding or dripping fresh raspberry juice. )
