Just be careful of rasberry mosaic disease, thats why we plant patches around the property and not altogether, if a few plants get infected they recommend pulling them right away. We grow everbearing ones so we get more fruit than we no what do do with from spring to fall,
There are other diseases also like leaf curl etc so its best not to have one big patch but many spread out we have found

We planting stock that is not susceptible to most of those diseases (Caroline, a patented variety from U of Maryland). So far, we've been lucky.

Picked another 2 gallons of blackberries and a fresh cobble just came out of the oven.

Raspberries are just coming in great now. Picked perhaps a gallon of those.

I do like your idea of spreading them out. We have done that with other fruits/berries.

We have two fabulous patches of wild black raspberry coming up in different locations of the property. We are being careful to keep the cultivars far from any wild berries.

This is what we are currently harvesting (and our supplier):

This is the blackberry we planted:

It is incredible to harvest a thornless variety. Such a pleasure not being scratched to death.


I'll be ordering this in the spring:

Other varieties of red raspberry we already had is Latham, Heritage, and a Boysenberry.
