Berry plant and harvest report 2019

Not taking @Drew51’s advice, I went ahead and created sections in the raised bed for the raspberry patch. The varieties planted are Royalty, Double Gold, Caroline, Heritage, Fall Gold and Jewel.

I do expect them to cross the boundaries but I’ll see how long they take. I thought the location will have shade for half of the day to counteract some heat, but didn’t realize planting next to the house will negate some chill hours. I am probably pushing the zone on a couple of these already, so this doesn’t help :worried:

Got the bare roots from Indiana Berry and they accidentally sent me a bunch of Monterey Strawberries which they didn’t want back. So I stuck them in the same raised beds for this season. I planted these around end of March and all of the raspberries and more than 50% of the strawberries have leafed out now.
