I've been so jealous watching everyone's berry photos over the last month or so. Our seasons come so late up north here, and I should probably just be happy we can still grow as much as we can around here, but it didn't stop me from being jealous.
Maybe all your seasons are over now and you'll be jealous of us....lol.
This may actually turn into one big jealousy post, since I'm going to admit this is actually my sisters berry patch as our is pretty pathetic this year.
I wish she know what variety these are because they are massive berries, they take amazing, they are super productive and grow like stink.
There is her whole patch in crappy soil right next too her house in only a couple years. I can not believe the suckers these things put out too. I've been there twice now and dug probably 2 dozen to replant at my own place and they are still popping up and very far away!
It's hard to see in this photo but I tried to show at the bottom right chair leg there is one growing up here. They are also already a few along that fence at the back of the photo too. Really in a couple more years she can have a patch all around that whole fence. And in pretty lame sandy soil too. (although maybe that helps with spreading in this case, not sure)
I'm excited and hope they take over our yard this much as well, it's so great to be able to make such a big plant with only a few starter plants.
Here's one row of our patch. It needs a good weeding and conditioning. Unfortunately this spring my wife cut back all the plants so we don't have any berry growth this year, but now it just means next year should be a massive crop. These are all wild raspberries that we're growing all over the property when we moved in. They are much smaller fruit, then my sisters, but it's fun to have different varieties and something more natural.
