New Raspberry Patch






Two years ago, our raspberries had cane blight, so we dug them out, replaced the soil and brought in new plants. We had a pretty good crop last year, considering how young the plants were. Even though the new crop seems to be flourishing, we decided to start a new patch away from the old one. We placed it behind the berm, where we figured it would get better sun exposure and there would be less chance of mildew forming. The canes we planted were dug from other farms and we chose golden raspberries and a couple of tulameens that came from our original stock.
