I must say that I can't see any AI in this video.
Eheh. π
Comment for support…thanks Gary! I wish i could afford to buy plants. I have tons of wild ones growing here. But I wish I had ones that were thornless and make bigger berries. I once had seedless raspberries I got on clearance. They were SO DELICIOUS! Maybe I can afford to buy 1 or 2 plants this year and just let them grow crazy and reproduce. If I allow them to root along the canes then seperate them. Do you know if the wild ones will make problems for the fancy ones? Do I need to worry about disease?
I propagated a ton of "wild" blackberries by planting one in a 5 gallon fabric bag – when canes were long enough I'd move the pot to where i wanted to propagate it and bury them, or bury it in a second pot near the bag. I sort of leap-frogged the bag during the season along patch, cutting off the buried runners as they grew roots. Works well if you're patient and not in a hurry to have a full bed.
Lol, phone in the pocket, you crack me up. I can't believe you never cracked a smile. I would be laughing so hard at myself. Sounds like something that I would do.
Human Voiced!
I propagated my blackberries by cutting a slot in plastic planters. I then buried a branch successively along every leaf in the planters and taped it up to keep the soil in place and then watered, every buried leaf produced roots in the planters and I simply snipped the branch at every planter. It worked quite well. Still enjoying your reality gardening channel.. thanks a whole bunch.
I had 3 blackberries in 10 gallon potsβ¦ they are showing no signs of life yet. I think I lost um. I mulched them I and protected them π€·ββοΈ this was a long cold winter in southern Maine. I lost a number of plants ..in my well established perennial flower beds. Just means thereβs ro9m for new ones!
I hope to do berries someday! ANTS were a problem @ my old house, but I'm moving in with the folks, and I'm HOPEFUL about BERRIES here. TY RUSTED!
Thank you sir. I picked up a raspberry bush at TSC for half off right now. I planted mine in a 5 gallon bucket for now.
We adore our Professor, and I have berry transplants begging to be planted out ππ»ββοΈβ€οΈπ³πΏπππ
Itβs autumn here, so my berry leaves are Rufus and crunchy πππππ
The wind here enjoys punishing me for never trellising ππ¬οΈπ¬οΈπ¬οΈπ¨
What about seed? Do they have the big seed in them?
Iβm working on growing a small area of Marionberries up against my house. They are different than these ones you are planting. They have up to 20 foot canes! They donβt send runner rhizomes. Mine are rather thorny.
I put in two 6β tall T-posts 8β apart and will put some line or wire in between. I will stagger the levels the primocanes go across each year, as they fruit on second year canes. I should get a good quart of berries for one plant this year, because itβs not very established yet. I only had one T-post, until I moved a Spirea out of the way. I rooted a tip for a second plant and planted it at the second T-post I just put in. If I need, I can add more T-posts down the row. Iβm very close to Marion county, so it only makes sense to grow Marionberries as my blackberry.
Still, fertilizing tips are helpful. Iβm just doing organic for mine though.
Fight AI: Ryan Hall uses a fruit, holding it and changing it to overcome the AI feature. You might find an item to fight the AI too. A cup then a garden tool? Just random…and just a suggestion. β€
Excellent as usual!!
You are my fav Gary! Just joined. Say no no no to AI!
I am in year one with my blackberries. Poor little things are about a foot tall. Ill have to save this for laterππΌπ
Gary where do you get those posts you use around your blackberries. We have looked far and wide for those with no luck.
I have some old blackberries in my yard, but they don't produce much anymore. Is it normal for them to lose production over the years, or do i just need to treat them better?
I was stopping them from spreading, but this year I'll try reproducing from cuttings.
Can we nominate Gary for times non ai person of the year?
This video is really helpful. Thank you, my friend.
