  • @UMaineExtension1 Thank you for the advice. I really appreciate it. I think getting two crops is the best for me. I live high up on the Pennine Mountains in West Yorkshire, UK, and found that the second crop, rather late, became subject to attack by frost. So, hopefully, I will be able to get plenty of fruit from the first crop.

  • I really appreciate this video. I lost my job and am working to cut costs by planting fruit. Dave is great at explaining things.

    Thanks,

    Rancher

  • @digiihippie Thank you for watching!

  • Have been looking for this information, and all the websites that I have found don't explain it as well as you have. Thanks for the info!

  • Thanks.. I have had a difficult time with raspberries..

  • @togetvj By the way, another fall crop will be coming from this years primocanes. This is explained in our video "How to Grow Raspberries". If you prune them as regular you will get the two crops each year. Alternatively, you can mow them after the fall crop and just get one crop per year (the fall primocane crop). Less fruit but less labor to prune.

  • Help! In 2010, I planted Polka, a primocane/everbearing variety. This spring, 2011, it produced small berries on new canes. When they had finished bearing I cut the canes down to the ground as strong, new canes had grown. I was expecting that in spring 2012 those new canes would provide fruit but they have borne big fruits this autumn, 2011. So, what now? When do I cut down these autumn bearing canes. I live in the north of England so it is quite cold here in winter. Help!

  • @teamgrn Wouldn't recomend it. Raspberries spread, and if you plant the onions and garlic too close to the raspberries, you won't be able to harvest them. Also, you wouldn't want them competing for water.

  • look at how tall those canes are!!!

  • @teamgrn no the onions and garlic will make the raspberries taste bad
