Raspberry dreams

On March 7, 2015 by Lisa

My sister says, “I like to plant and grow what I like to eat.” I agree. I like to eat raspberries. When a 1/4 pint is $4 at the market, growing my own seems ideal. Growing my own also means raspberry jam: berries, sugar and pectin. That is winning. Unlike blackberries, at least my wild variety of blackberries, that grow in mounded, throny meanness, raspberries need to grow vertically. I found a great image on Pinterest for a raspberry trellis and was determined to make my own.

So, last March, I single-handedly built my own raspberry trellis. I did a great job if I do say so. All level and sturdy.

I even bought some raspberry canes at Lowe’s but they were not ideal for my zone and failed. So I waited patiently, an ordered (in August 2014) raspberry canes from Nourse Farms.

They sold a variety cultivated especially for my zone. Again, winning! They even offer planting guidance through their videos.

I feel very confident I will have raspberries in the fall.
