i've planted a vegetable garden the last few years. This year I ordered a few raspberry plants. Are they hard to grow? Any tips?

we have them growing wild out on the edges of our fields (farm). they are pretty old and grew by themselves so i'm pretty sure they must be tough little plants. i'd just make sure to grow them in the proper light and probably against a building or somewhere out of the way. they can get pretty big and have stickers on. good luck!

We have Red and Black Raspberry plant on our farm. They can be somewhat difficult to grow. But if you stick with them, they'll be fine. And, this may not be a problem for you, but I've had countless plants be run over with the lawnmower by my oblivious brother, so it's a good idea to put a little fence or something around each plant. I use those metal tomato racks. Here's a website I found that's straight and to-the-point. http://www.beginner-gardening.com/growing-raspberries.html

Hope that helped!

My mother decided this year she wanted blueberry an raspberry plants. She bought like 8 blueberry plants, I told if they all lived she'd have a ton of blueberries.

Wow! I wish i had wild raspberries! I don't really have a green thumb, so if they spontaneously grew on the corner of my yard, I'd be thrilled!

DH's grandpa in Michigan has a large plot of raspberries that have been growing for 20 yrs or more & DS loved them so much, he begged me to try to grow them...

thanks bigsisof3kids for the link!

I planted a small patch of raspberries a few years ago, and they seem to be thriving with little or no attention from me. Just make sure to keep it mowed around them because they will spread and spread and spread.

Glad it helped!
