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.

From the Garden

The world' largest fennel! I discovered the secret to sizing up fennel bulbs this year, and it is all in the transplating of the seedlings. You must start the plants and then transplant them, otherwise the tend to grow up, not out.

The late corn is just about ready. Beside it, the remaining raspberries are all suffering from cane blight. I have been cutting out the blighted canes and it looks like they are all blighted. Worried about next year's crop.
The fall garden is slowly finishing. The summer squash are almost done. Everything is now grown. Already, a plan is forming for next year.
