Do you cut them back? I have a bunch of new growth at the dirt level but the branches from last yr just look dead, no growth, they are not dead but not getting leaves. Are you supposed to chop them back and when? [/quote] I don't cut back anything living. I do remove some "suckers" or offshoots that pop up in an area I don't want them. Each year, I remove the dead canes , the ones that bore the previous year. A living cane isn't going to snap if you bend it. The dead ones pull or bend right out. This is a good article that explains it better than I could. http://gardening.about.com/od/berries/a/Prune_Raspberry.htm [/quote] I have been thinking about adding raspberries and blueberries to our garden. I think raspberries would be pretty easy, blackberries grow like invasive weeds here. I tried blueberries a few years ago, but they only made it 2 years and died. I don't think they were well enough established to take our hard freeze in the winter. [/quote] Raspberries are easy. They're like blackberries and will also grow like invasive weeds. I'd thought about blueberries too, but my soil where I'd want them, would need some work and mulching each fall. There's a person near me that sells organic ones, pick your own, for a dirt cheap price. Have apples, cherries, plums, raspberries, strawberries, mulberries, and enough other fruits that it just doesn't seem real important to add blueberries right now. [/quote] Hi Nine's! We have strawberries and I have managed to keep our little Myer Lemon alive through it's first winter. Had a bout with bugs when it was indoors, but I hope it's ok. No blossoms yet but I think they wait till may or so for that. [/quote]
