Melissa K. Norris - Modern Homesteading Enjoyed you videos and want to comment on raspberries. Purchasing barefoot canes from a drugstore sale and not knowing much about them, I did everything wrong. We got a few berries next summer but it is now mid October and they are really full of fruit. Looking forward to your pruning video and hopefully how to get rid of grass around them. Would laying black plastic under the vines hurt the plants? Thank you, Janet
Hi Melissa, I Started My Berry Rows Last Year, Many Are Partly Seeded as Well as Plants. I Did Have the Opportunity To Dig Up Some Thimbleberry Plants at an Acquaintances House Last Fall and Put Somewhere Between 75 and 100 Plants Into Their Own Row. I Can Hardly Wait to Find Out What Transplant Success I Will Have. Loved the Video, Thank You Very Much. Maine.
I bought 2 raspberry canes this year but haven't had a chance to permanently plant them yet. I put them in a pot with some soil but they haven't done anything at all and still look dead. Maybe I need to start over next year or late this year and have a spot ready for them and order more than two.
I live in the far north of Ontario Canada and here I'm in zone 1b. Tough growing. I live on my off grid homestead and grow heirloom vegetables. I also harvest a variety of wild raspberries etc. I'm a new subscriber to you channel. ATB
I have been growing raspberries for 15 years. Raspberries do spread. You will find over time they will send out suckers plants. Also make sure they get plenty of water when it gets hot or you will have small berries. Nothing better then fresh ones off bushes. I also freeze some berries to use in pancakes in the winter. Also good in muffins.
Hi. I planted raspberries in Portland last year. Only one gave me real good berries, one didn’t grow much and two had some kind of mold sickness. The leaves are coming back now. What should I do with the ones that had mold?
Hi.. I recenetly brought fall gold raspberries from ireland and brought to India. I have transfered it in to a small pot but it looks its leaves are started shrinking from its tip. Does anyone knows the reason. Please help me to save this plant.
My love for gardening started when i was little, then school and growing up happened and it all got forgotten. But the fire was lit again 2 years ago when i got married and we bought our first home. But then again work got in the way. But now i'm blessed with not being able to work due to this virus locking everything down. I am outside in our garden everyday, leveling out our lawn, removing weeds, edging, planting, making compostbins, raised vegetablebeds, waterfeatures and now i am getting some plumtrees, planting paspberries, ruhbarb, strawberries, vegetables and experimenting with corn in our arctic inviroment. Lovely video, great information.
Thanks for video it was helpful. I have grown and they do spread a lot. Your video sound is way too low! Raspberries and blackberries are very healthy for us and are grown in similar ways.
I'd love if you would do a follow up video on this reviewing your raspberry variety, what kind of production that you've had, and other tips/lessons learned.
I am going to be planting raspberries for the first time. Trying to learn as much as I can. I already bought a raspberry plant (unplanned purchase) 😊 and am feeling a little overwhelmed with all this. I am also doing a garden for the first time in my life. I wish I started this when I was a lot younger, but I think it’s necessary to start. Thank you for posting educational videos to help people like myself.
We have a tiny(!), productive city property that we've managed to plant with 4 varieties of raspberry, 3 blueberry bushes, 2 varieties of thornless blackberry, a strawberry patch, 1 each apple, plum, pear and peach trees plus two 6 x 12 raised beds. Many flower varieties invite pollinators and birds. Our yard is well manicured yet very productive and we truly love it! My berries are in bloom and setting fruit so enjoying the bounty is short weeks away.
Good info, as always. Might I recommend getting a microphone? It's a little hard to hear you when you're close to and looking at the camera, but near impossible when you step away or even turn away. You always have such good info I don't want to miss what you have to say. Keep up the great work!
I enjoyed this video very much. I love the way you go into the details about self pollination, whether you need different kinds,just one kind what the different types grow, how often they produce.You are very thorough and efficient I love your videos. I want to get so many berry bushes and apple trees, and peach 🍑 🌳 So much I want to do. Thank you for your hard work in putting these videos out I have always enjoyed watching you and doing your classes.
Thank you Reta, I'm so glad you enjoy it and berry bushes give you fruit sooner but the faster you get those fruit trees in the closer you'll be to a harvest :)
Hi Melissa! We recently moved back to our farm in Tennessee and are starting over with fruit trees, etc. We have raspberries and thornless blackberries we brought with us from out old house. We have cherry & pears that are from when we lived here before, the pears are very fruitful! We've added figs, got some fruit last year, patio peaches, dwarf peaches, apples, pecans, plums and more cherry trees, plus elderberry bushes. I just ordered 2 pomegranate trees also. More to come in the fall! Thanks for the great videos
Thanks Melissa, it is just what I was looking for. You are doing a great job and I'm very interested in all your things that you are doing around your homestead. God bless you
I put my sticks in the fall during the rainy season with the compost and mulch and left it alone. In the early spring I cut the stick and plant it next to the original. Again during the rainy season in the spring so I don't have to worry about watering. I mulch heavily to keep the water in
Thanks Melissa. Great Video. I have inherited a 2 acre field ( south east of Ireland in a small river valley) and am planning to grow some raspberries in it. 11 plants supplies a family of 4 for a season is a good yield. The field is east facing and on a slight slope so hopefully drainage should be ok. I am thinking of planting raspberries at the highest elevation and then apple and plum trees towards the lower elevation. See how it goes. This video is very encouraging,
I would love to visit Ireland someday! I live in America, Missouri to be exact. My area is the Southwest part of the state so we are what’s called the “Ozarks.” Lots of hills, lakes, several small bodies of water so it’s beautiful around here. However, it’s nothing compared to your living environment! I wanted to suggest container growing because we have harsh winters out here. Sometimes our October can feel like the perfectly mild spring weather comparable to tropics yet sometimes we can have a super hot September and BOOM we are already facing hard frosts in October with highs barely reaching the low 40s. Then most of November is highs in the 70s or barely reaching mid 60s with “abnormally high” temps for the year. But we can also already have had several inches of snow/ice. It’s unpredictable so I’ve found container gardening to be my friend. I can bring in all of these awesome plants and winter them where they stay mostly dormant yet still thrive. Come early spring these cold hardy plants come back to life! So, long story short, considering keeping some of your plants in large containers and you’ll learn just how you can truly yield the benefits of mature fruits and plentiful harvest!
No way you're for the Pacific Northwest I'm out here in Canby Oregon! I am planting raspberry for the first time so that's why I am watching this video and I just subscribed what is so cool that you're from my region of the country!
This is great thank you! I will be watching your trellising video next. I found raspberries next to our shed last summer but they were buried behind weeds and overgrown shrubs, so we just cleared all that. I want to also plant more this year. We are a family of 8 so now I know I need about 22 canes wow! We also have black berries, Elderberry, about 40 large apple and pear trees, 2 peach trees, and 5 cherry trees that I need to learn about because they only produce tiny cherries. If you know about cherry trees please do a video on how to trim and care for them.
I ordered tons of fruit trees, bushes and vines this year, including 24 raspberry bushes! I'm hoping to get them any day now, so perfect timing! :-D I also ordered hardy kiwi, passion fruit, paw paw, almond trees, and every berry I could imagine. (Raspberries are my favorite though.)
I put out two thornless Blackberry plants last fall that I got from Walmart and checked on them just today. They are going to town! They are a creeper and have set several shoots burrowing in the sod. I`m going to leave them be as they seem to like their surroundings. I also planted a regular blackberry in the backyard and the only reason I can find it is I planted a blue plastic stake by it. LOTS of water at the end of my yard. Didn`t know about the root rotting thing. Makes sense.
tx for video. always things to learn. i've been growing rasberries for over 10 years with little time to attend them. never understood how to prune them. and one thing i do not like is i now have 3 or 4 varieties all mixed which i dont recognize. i'll be learning in the future on identifying and regrouping them; my goal would be to cover all seasons.
We have two varieties of blackberries, strawberries, cherries and a young "orchard" with some apple trees, and a peach tree. We have a large vegetable garden each year. Would love to add some delicious raspberries. Thanks for the info.
How long does it take to get berries ? I planted some raspberries (Caroline), from root, in the spring of 2020. I planted another one , from root spring 2021 I can’t remember this variety. This past summer 2022, I still have sticks ! The one planted in 2020 did get a few leaves on it but that’s it. Looking forward to more growth this season (2023).
Thanks this helps. But the only difference i will be planting but i will be using wood chips. I make a combination of wood chips, leaves, grass clippings, brush, chipped up in an even mixture placed 8-12 inches thick on top of the ground over the living grass and sod where i want the berries. Then it kills the existing sod like the plastic ideal you have, but not kill the microbes and fungi like the plastic does. A year or two later you just take and rake the wood chips aside where you want to plant berries, the ground will be loose and a little moist from the wood bark layer on top, just plant the berries in the ground. I suspect it will be ok that there might be a moist layer in/from the wood bark, but i think the berries will still be fine because they can send roots wherever it wants them, if they don't like that moist layer then they will send more below it instead, etc... This way the ground is already living with microbes and fungi, the mulch mixture on top of the ground supports all the life in the ground. Then after that layer of mulch begins to look all broken down after 3-5 years, add another 12 inch layer of wood chip mixture, it will keep feeding the life in the ground for the berries. It will also regulate moisture better, that moist layer is only where the woodchips meet the ground, but it has it if it needs it, fungi and microbes need it. And if the berries need it the fungi will probably deliver it as needed if the berries are getting low on water, and if there is too much the fungi will probably pump it around to absorb into the things that need it and away from things that have enough, it will equal it out and make perfect environment for the life in the ground..
I planted a bunch of raspberries in a raised garden about 2 months ago. I was wondering if you have to clip the tops? I haven't seen any growth or leaves or anything yet so I was wondering if you had to do that in order for it to start sprouting
We've put in about 40 apple trees in our few years at our farm, in addition to a few varieties of raspberries, strawberries and blueberries. Our bees have their work cut out for them :o)
Hi! Thank you for the video. Quick question. I cannot find elemental sulphur in my area so i will have to drive far to get it. All thry have is aluminum sulphate. But you said not to use anything alumminum. Can you please explain why. Is it toxic for humans? I heard aluminum exposure can cause alzheimer, however aluminum is in a compound state, not pure.
Hi, brought my raspberries about a year ago. The gardener takes care of them b ut think I'll give it a try myself. Leaves are always crispy, though see some re -growth of leaves below. Had a few fruit here and there. But hardly grown. mostly just staying the same in size due to dying and regrowth. How often do they need watering? And how yo u check for soil drainage? They are in full sun. Advice so much appreciated! 😁
I'm in SoCal, I wish we could grow cherries! We tried the low chill varieties, but they immediately got canker.😞 We also grow a Mission fig, a Meyer and Pink Lemonade lemon, a kumquat, a blood orange, a tangerine, a Thornless lime (that isn't thornless😑), a passion fruit, three varieties of avocado, three apricots, two peaches, three Dorset apple and one Fuji apple, a Kiefer pear, a Cavendish banana, a mango, a Manzanilla Olive, strawberries, a Thornless boysenberry, a blackberry, and Baba raspberries. I'd love another variety of fig, and pear, besides a plum and almond tree next. We fit all of that fruit and our veggie garden on a 6000sqft. lot (minus the house and garage), thanks to dwarf varieties, and the practice of espalier, and other pruning techniques for standard trees. I used to live in Spokane and Cheney as a girl, if I ever wanted to live in snow again, then I'd get myself right back there!😉 But I'd miss my warm weather fruits, and I don't do well with container plants.😑
Thanks. My soil is heavily clay, so I garden in boxes and containers, so I can create healthy soil, and since my boxes are relatively shallow, a nice big container (maybe an old wine barrell) might work. You are awesome. Keep it up.@@MelissaKNorris
I love growing golden raspberries. They produce from August until the end of the growing season. They are very soft though and have to be handle very carefully. My question to you. Do I treat golden rasberries the same when making jam as other berries?
Far be it from me to give people advice, but if you're looking to grow your soil, I've found Richard Perkins to be an amazing resource. ruclips.net/video/ea7UWvUh_X0/видео.html Perhaps something to consider
Blackberries are similar but double check their preferred pH level. We have wild blackberries in abound on our property so I've never had to plant them or adjust the soil for them.
@@MelissaKNorris - A friend let me come to her property and dig up some blackberries, and I found wild-growing ones this week as well. I look forward to finally having berries in my own yard! Thanks for all these tips, and for all the tips in all your videos!
Do you have deer in your area, I do so would it be fruitless,(see what I did there?) to even try to grow some raspberries? How do you decide what varieties to plant , I can't find info on thornless, seedless, sweetness, where do I look?
Why are my yellow and black raspberries are doing so much better than my red? I live 30 miles east of Portland if area has any relevance. Do the yellows tolerate more or less moisture perhaps?
I am just about to transfer some raspberry bushes form a pot into my soil, now my soil is very high in alkaline 8.0 . I got some aluminum sulphur, you mentioned that it’s not good, but because my alkaline is so high, would it be ok?
The question is if you're okay having aluminum in your soil from here on out and in your raspberries. Your soil is definitely too alkaline as is for raspberries but personally I'd get elemental sulfur and use that.
I transplanted my raspberry from a pot to the ground. Now the leaves are turning yellow. I live in the PNW, town of Roy. How can I save my raspberry. I got them from a friend.
Hi.. I recenetly brought fall gold raspberries from ireland and brought to India. I have transfered it in to a small pot but it looks its leaves are started shrinking from its tip. Does anyone knows the reason. Please help me to save this plant.
Great video Melissa! You probably should improve the audio somewhat. I hear what you say, but there are moments when you move away from the camera your voice becomes more distant. Nevertheless, your message is clear enough for followers to learn your craft. Thanks for your teachings.
Are you asking due to pruning questions? If they're growing just let them be this year and then prune to the variety in winter (everbearing vs summer/June bearing)
Just let them grow this year. Once they produce fruit if you get a second wave un August/September then you'll know they're everbearing/Autumn bearing and will prune to that. In the meantime just let them grow
@@MelissaKNorris well it is virtually impossible to change my soil. I add mulch and manure, but my soil is lime stone, so adding acid won't change the pH.
Did you find this info helpful? Are you growing or putting in any fruit at your place?
I like the hair, I can dig it I can really dig it.

Can you plant raspberries next to your elderberries
Awesome video! I'm moving to a small homestead this summer and raspberries are on my list of things to plant in the first year.
Yay, congrats on your new place
I put out two thornless Blackberry plants last fall that I got from Walmart and checked on them just today. They are going to town! They are a creeper and have set several shoots burrowing in the sod. I`m going to leave them be as they seem to like their surroundings. I also planted a regular blackberry in the backyard and the only reason I can find it is I planted a blue plastic stake by it. LOTS of water at the end of my yard. Didn`t know about the root rotting thing. Makes sense.
yes I found it very helpful. thanks so very much. love to see the exact how to's.

That's awesome you have bees, I have Mason bees in the orchard but not honey bees yet.
Good and helpful video Mellissa.
I am in the Pacific NW as well. Would bunny berries (bunny poo) be a good compost for the Raspberries?

They don't have a huge root system so a deep and large container would work, but you'll still need to be able to trellis or stake them.

Please I want to know if I can leave the suckers alone and they should grow out as a new plant? Thank you for your time
They will grow out but you'll want to make sure they don't get too crowded
Melissa K. Norris thank you for your reply
SO COOL . YOU USE THAT MACHINE TO GET RID OF GRASS. WHAT KIND MACHINE YOU USE? WHERE CAN PURCHASE?
can you grow them in containers? how big containers do you need? what variety is this?
Great info, thank you so much
I love growing golden raspberries. They produce from August until the end of the growing season. They are very soft though and have to be handle very carefully. My question to you. Do I treat golden rasberries the same when making jam as other berries?
How crucial is it to keep the bed weed free??? Any tips???
nice looking soil, where I live, I would have tilled up two yds of stone and rock.
this particular area of our property we're blessed with good soil :)
Far be it from me to give people advice, but if you're looking to grow your soil, I've found Richard Perkins to be an amazing resource. ruclips.net/video/ea7UWvUh_X0/видео.html Perhaps something to consider
I got just 4 root plants and 2 already leafed plants.Do all of them get full sun?
Very helpful video, thanks. How about blackberries? Would you plant the same ?
Blackberries are similar but double check their preferred pH level. We have wild blackberries in abound on our property so I've never had to plant them or adjust the soil for them.
@@MelissaKNorris - A friend let me come to her property and dig up some blackberries, and I found wild-growing ones this week as well. I look forward to finally having berries in my own yard! Thanks for all these tips, and for all the tips in all your videos!
how long the raspberry will live? im in canada too much snow and cold. thanks
They send out new canes and spread (so it's not technically thecsame cane) but my parents had a patch over 25 years old
Do you have deer in your area, I do so would it be fruitless,(see what I did there?) to even try to grow some raspberries? How do you decide what varieties to plant , I can't find info on thornless, seedless, sweetness, where do I look?
Why are my yellow and black raspberries are doing so much better than my red? I live 30 miles east of Portland if area has any relevance. Do the yellows tolerate more or less moisture perhaps?
I live in oregon and am indecisive. How many different kind of raspberries plants do you recommend i grow?
Very informative 👏
Good information 👍
I am thinking of getting an orange tree and maybe a lime tree. I think i live in zone 6 not sure though. Panhandle of Florida.
I wish we could grow citrus this far north, lime is my favorite!!
N Florida is zone 8
Does it still work, CAUSE I got rasberrys and I just made a hole and threw the rasberrys in and watered it
CleR description/ my question is how long will this crop grew raspberries after the first year
Decades
Is it ok to plant raspberries on a hill? Or will the water drain too much?
Beautiful.
Love your vids!!!
Where do you buy your berry plants
@Maria Perez I got mine from Raintree Nursery raintreenursery.com/berries
I am just about to transfer some raspberry bushes form a pot into my soil, now my soil is very high in alkaline 8.0 . I got some aluminum sulphur, you mentioned that it’s not good, but because my alkaline is so high, would it be ok?
The question is if you're okay having aluminum in your soil from here on out and in your raspberries. Your soil is definitely too alkaline as is for raspberries but personally I'd get elemental sulfur and use that.
What kind of tiller is that??
🥰. Great info 👍
can raspberry grow in a tropical climate that has a high rate of rain?
Are you mulching them?
Yes, light layer of compost and wood chips
Great video. I would like to do this but don't know where to order berries. Can anyone help?
I got mine from www.starkbros.com/
@@MelissaKNorris Thank You
Thank you.
I transplanted my raspberry from a pot to the ground. Now the leaves are turning yellow. I live in the PNW, town of Roy. How can I save my raspberry. I got them from a friend.
Hi.. I recenetly brought fall gold raspberries from ireland and brought to India. I have transfered it in to a small pot but it looks its leaves are started shrinking from its tip. Does anyone knows the reason. Please help me to save this plant.
Do I need to cut the plants back every year or not
Yes you do, watch the pruning video
Does your new book cover berry care?
Yes!! A whole section on berries, from planting, pruning, amending etc. 😊
hI Melissa, I live in Pacific County WA. do you have a favorite Raspberry that produces an abundance of berries?
Thank you!
Great video Melissa!
You probably should improve the audio somewhat.
I hear what you say, but there are moments when you move away from the camera your voice becomes more distant.
Nevertheless, your message is clear enough for followers to learn your craft.
Thanks for your teachings.
How to prepare grassy soil for crops
I have raspberries that already have leaves there about 6 to 8 inches tall what do I do?
Are you asking due to pruning questions? If they're growing just let them be this year and then prune to the variety in winter (everbearing vs summer/June bearing)
@@MelissaKNorris raspberries I'm not sure what they were given to me have small thorns on it's stock.
Just let them grow this year. Once they produce fruit if you get a second wave un August/September then you'll know they're everbearing/Autumn bearing and will prune to that. In the meantime just let them grow
is that in canada?
No, we're in western northern Washington state
Wow
I discovered a great collection of videos that will help you at Grape Grower Folio
nice video
Lol e the good I fo Melissa, thank you.
❤❤❤❤❤
Didn't understand what the sulfur is for?
It is used to acidity the soil, which raspberries prefer.
How in the hell is this girl not wearing a coat when there's SNOW ON THE GROUND?! I admire you Northerners.

Great video but one thing. When you plant you should lay your root down lengthwise instead of in a straight hole
They’re re gonna spread
😍👍💓
I need to find a women like you to help me in the garden!!😎
I just got a discount at Wallyworld. $5 raspberry and blackberry plants. IDK what to do w/ them here at the start of fall.
Oh my! Youre so beautiful😍😍😍
I wish to do working with you.
Thank u for not rambling on before getting to it.
My soil pH is over eight and my raspberries are fine
Long term they will suffer
@@MelissaKNorris well it is virtually impossible to change my soil. I add mulch and manure, but my soil is lime stone, so adding acid won't change the pH.
According to the reviews, the ph tester you link to at Amazon is junk.
Everytime you turn I can't hear you
Your soo beautiful
Audio is very low, I'll come back later.
I like your vids but please get a microphone. I strain to hear you.
@fmyles3 I did get one, so the newer ones are louder :)
Melisa. Get a bcs tiller. Your a pro gardener. Get rid of that. And get a pro tiller.
