Oh no!

We’ve got to get a berry bramble established this year. Hopefully in the next month or two so the first year canes can get established and make next year. We’re going to put 3 bull panels end to end and have one big row of raspberries, blackberries, loganberries, boysenberries and what have you.

Our blueberry bushes are predated by birds but the bushes themselves are 10ft tall at this point and about that far in diameter and there are 12 of them so they outproduce the boids.

Re; Your blueberry varieties - Patriot? And I can’t remember the other really big one. ‘Chandler’ produces big berries, but not sure on the height.

We’re adding blueberries, for sure. We have a TON of Black Cap (wild) Raspberries and wild Blackberries as well. Beau actually took the big mower and mowed paths to the best picking spots, so that’ll be fun later in the season.

He also has Black Cap canes that grow around our mailbox, but I make him keep those under control so the Mailman doesn’t get all scratched up!

You know, for someone that HATES wild roses, and will mow them over with abandon, (I LOVE them for the hips in the fall) he sure is NUTTY over the other PRICKLY cane ‘junk’ that grows wild around here!

Wow. I’ve tries to grow them in a raised bed area for years with very little success. What state are you living in?
