Hi from the US. Thanks for the tips
I have apples, morello cherries, rhubarb, blackcurrants and strawberries. My neighbour has black berries but
I MUST do raspberries this coming year. I have bought them a number of times in 2022 from the supermarket. I’ve said it a long time and must do it. 👍 thanks for the reminder Ben.
The birds love my currants so much that I barely get any for myself.
Thanks you for your lovely videos. Would you be so kind to tell me the variety of your raspberries? They sound great. Schone Adventszeit from Berlin! 🎄
Ideal 🤗
Thank you, great idea. Love it.
Very beautiful your video
I never had any luck with blueberries here in Southern California. I will give it another try taking in your tips. 😊
Another amazing show Ben. I must say I’m glad you showed this as I have new raspberries cains to plant out and a cascading blackberry too. And I’ve just received my lemon, lime and orange trees, they only small atm but will need to find out how to take good care of them. I have their feed but where and when to put them, inside pop up greenhouse or outside!?!?!? So many things I don’t know. Lol
If you can answer any please do as I would appreciate it.
I LOVE LoVE berries! Every time I’ve planted out blue berries they have died!
Superbe vidéo bravo 😉😉
A bientôt 🤗 🤗 🤗
Is potting mix same as compost please?
Great one, Ben! Loads of useful info for me as I continue to expand my container garden! I didn't know raspberries plants come in a smaller size.😃 I'm adding the strawberry patch and really would like to add currants.😃 Thanks!💕
I love raspberries. The garden previous house owners sort of grew has a patch, but the summer weather since we moved in hasn’t been too nice to the berries. Maybe next year. I have a cunning plan, says Baldrick.
Today, I pruned my raspberries 🍓🍓🍓(no raspberrie emoji,sorry) down to an inch, BEFORE 😱 I found one of your old videos from 5 years ago 😭😭 Hopefully, they'll grow back in Spring 😍 After watching your video, I had to beat my chicks away from what I'd massacred & thrown onto the compost piles, gave them the kiss of life (the canes, not my chicks), re-potted them in discarded drain-pipes & said several fruity prayers 🙏 Thank you for sharing your incredible knowledge 🤗
Are you going to do another book? I found the one I purchased to be so informative and so readable. ❤️❤️👍👍🇨🇦👩🌾🪴. Happy holidays to you and your family.
Thank you for this! Just what I needed!
What variety of raspberry is that that grows up to 3 feet???? If anyone knows please let me know where can I get it? I’m in the US.
what is the name of the raspberries u planted
I’d really appreciate some help! I’ve tried to grow blueberries in pots twice. Both times they’ve eventually died on me and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I use ericaecious potting compost although I admit I haven’t always been able to water with rainwater as it’s not always been available. I WILL NOT GIVE UP but if you could help me stop murdering poor blueberry bushes it would help! 💖
Wonderful! A couple of months ago I bought some patio bushes – blueberries, raspberries, a blackberry and also a plum and pear tree. I’ve also set up a small square bucket garden for salads and baby veg in a 1m square raised bed and planted another 1m square raised bed with strawberries. So excited for next year! Enjoy your helpful videos – liked and subscribed! 👍🏻😁
Love your enthusiasm.
Got goji berries growing here in the UK, very easy to grow and pretty hardy
Great video. I went on a wildcrafting walk and got myself some blackberries and mulberry cuttings. One of the blackberries has taken and both the mulberry cuttings are putting out leaves. Mulberries are rampant along the river where I live but so is the local community in mulberry season so it's worth have your own tree. 😆 I got to the blackberry bush before the council did with their chemical poisons. I plan to container grow that so it doesn't get out of hand.
Making money is an action.keeping money is a behaviour, but "Growing money is wisdom" I figured this out a week ago. ✅
Snaffling? So that's what I've been doing! I also would love to know the variety of those smaller raspberry plants. Thanks! 8b Seattle
This could NOT have been timelier. I need to plant a black current and now I know to trim it back once in the ground. Thank you again, Ben. I can always rely upon you for outstanding information. DA
Great video. What about grapes?
at is the dwarf raspberry variety's name?
bless you. you are a rock star.
Love your videos. Any tips on growing indoors? CNY has very short growing season 🙁
A nice idea I found for trellising was to use long rebar stakes at the corners, then frame with bamboo. It will hold a net perfectly, and it provides an easy method to train plants with intermediary trellising of more bamboo; those crazy cannabis growers know a thing or two about protecting their crops.
Thank you.
Aren’t three raspberry plants per pot too many? I would think one in the center of the pot. I have four blueberry plants that did well. I also have on currant plant that came up in one of my flower bed from seeds that must have been dropped by birds.
Thank you 😊
I have always had a green thumb. But it never extended the fruit. I’ve had some luck with blackberries sound like with raspberries I especially like the yellow raspberries. I’ve had some luck with strawberries. I don’t know exactly what I’m doing wrong but none are really prolific like a lot of my friends the face. And I’ve been gardening for 50 years so I don’t know lol.
I appreciate your videos so much. Thank you Ben may you and your family have a wonderful Christmas. God bless.
