I loved your video! Your gardens are lovely! We are also growing all that you mentioned, and lingon berries, dew berries, boysenberries, kiwi berries ( 6 or 7 varieties), wine berries, Logan berries, service berries, arctic raspberries, goji berries, sea berries,wolf berries,three types of mulberry, aronia berry,schizandra berry, multiple types of elderberry and high bush cranberries. We live in a fairly impoverished area. My goal is to create a food forest that can eventually provide food, empowerment and education to our community. I’d like to spread what we are doing on our postage stamp urban food forest to the public spaces, so there is less food insecurity.
Saw where a guy painted strawberry shaped rocks and put them out prior to the real berries ripening. Birds left his real berries alone after encountering the red rocks. Neat trick.
I haven't heard if Josta berries .Your berries are so beautifully maintained . Thank you for sharing your garden with us ! Your videos bring me such Joy !
I'm growing all of these except the pine berries, I just never got round to buying some. I'm also growing polarberries, wineberries, lingonberries, cranberries, honeyberries, chilean guava, pinkcurrant, worcesterberries... and probably more berries I've forgotten to list! I love growing fruit 🌺
Interesting ... I also have 9 types of berries I'm growing. Some I just begun 2 weeks ago, so they might not bear for a year or two. 1-Seaberry or sea buckthorn 2-Goji berry 3-Honeyberry or Honeysuckle 4-Juneberry or Serviceberry 5-Yellow raspberry (Anne) 6-Red raspberry 7-Blackberry thorn bush 8-Blueberry 9-Pink champagne current Tomorrow I plan on building a cement block raised garden and planting strawberries and asparagus.
I'm in a colder climate Canada and grow everything you mentioned. One that you didn't mention that I grow are Haskap (Honey Berries) and they are my favorite. We live in a high ph heavy clay area and they do just fine. They are the first berries to be picked in the spring, even before strawberries. They taste like a kiwi, strawberry blueberry cross. Great fresh and great in jams and deserts.
Beautiful berries. I have tundra and berry blue, I just ordered aurora and boreal beast for next season! I think they're not super well known because they go by so many different names. You can find them in Quebec under "Camerises"
Japanese Wineberry is my favourite soft fruit. It grows well here in North Wales, good cropper and the birds leave it alone. Jostaberry makes a big bush, but the birds get every one. I love Ben Sarek blackcurrant.
I just saw the pine berry in a seed catalog last night! Several I did not know or know what to do with. I am starting a new garden at a new home and love the idea of several berries the children can go picking for!
Thank you for this. Very timely as I've been offered a second plot and thinking about planting mostly fruit. I like the raspberry support structure a lot, nice and simple for my beginner DIY skills. Gives me ideas for future tomato supports too. It's a pain having to tie individual canes for over 30 plants!
Didn't catch me on any of those, but then again I grow all those too. Awesome support for your raspberries, like the eco friendly usage of twine and bamboo ! You have put a ton of work into your garden, kudos to you! and I'm sub'd
Wow, they're all great berries and you are doing super great job to take care all of them.They are a few of them I don't know before and thank You for sharing!
Just wanted to say hello, Tanya. I hope you are thoroughly enjoying these summer days. You most certainly are eating some amazing produce. Cheers, Ardith
Fun video. I knew them all but just learned about josta berries this year and planted one. I also will be planting Aurora and Borealis Honeyberries this year. I can't wait to try them.
I haven't heard of gooseberries or Josta berries! Really liked learning about the varieties of the different berries and how they pair together! Good tip on the blueberries and acidic soil. Really really love how much I learn from your videos!
nice video, I know and grow all the berries in the video. I grow many others: lonicera kamchatica, aronia melonocarpa, amelanchier ... and many others :) thanks for the video.)
I mulch my blueberries with fallen needles from my evergreens. They love it, they break down into good acidic food. I wish I could say I don't know all the berries. But I'm in NW USA so I did... but being a Kansas native my great grandmother used to make gooseberry pie. I have for years wanted to do the same. Now, thanks to you. I know how to ready myself. I had no idea when to pick. What a "ripe" goose looks like. I also planted a black currant the same year so now maybe there will be a treat for Dad in the near future ♥️♥️♥️ how many years did it take to establish the currants in your garden?
High Tanya, I know all the berries that you have in your allotment garden and I have all of them in my own garden except the pineberry which I wish to plant next year. I'm a great fan of berries and my son and I make lots of delicious food/drinks with it. I like your videos very much. Keep up the good work! Happy Gardening ! Els
Most lovely are the Raspberry stands, only second to the gardeners hands. I was unaware of the Jostaberry and the Pineberry prior to my time spent here. Thank you, a most enjoyable horticultural experience this has been.
Ive heard of all of them, but this was a great video none the less. I just planted 5 jostaberry bushes about a month ago and am hoping to have fruit within the next couple years! Definitely havent heard of the disease they get till now.
Hello from Nevada. Happy to subscribe! I have not heard of all the types of berries you are growing. 😄 Your video was very well done, nice music and was enjoyable and informative. Thank you!
Envy!! Grew up on a farm in PA where we had berries galore. Loved gooseberry jelly!! Now live in FL/zone 9 so gooseberries and currents won't grow. We have to be careful of which blueberry plants to get. BUT I do have a peach tree,pineapples, and bananas. Truly enjoy growing fruits and berries more than veggies ~~ and, yes, I grow veggies.
I hadn’t seen or heard of the jasta berry before. Great tour, I’m just getting started, just got my first goose berry in the mail today. About 5 berries now & many more to come 😉
Because I watched this video last year, I bought some pineberries! I didn't know what they were but they sounded delicious and interesting. I planted 6 plants last year, later in the season. They have already multiplied into additional plants, but no berries yet. I am hoping to have some berries this summer and I can't wait to try them! Thank you for the wonderful content. I love your garden!
Yay for pineberries! They are voracious spreaders so keep your eye on them :) They also tend to start producing berries after their second year. More tips on growing pineberries are here: lovelygreens.com/grow-pineberries-white-strawberries/
Enjoyed the video. I did know of all the berries and grow each of them on my property. I have a facebook group dedicated to growing berries, so I am a big nerd when it comes to berries.
all the berries look great and yummy...i have a load of brambles on my property and i always know they are ripe when i watch the bears wander past my kitchen window with the brambles stuck to their arses after having sat and gorged all the berries...ha ha ha...thank you for the education on berries...love your videos...have a wonderful week
What an amazing story... do you live in Alaska? I’m in Florida so blueberries and blackberries but not much else do to the heat and humidity. It must be wonderful to live in a place where such large wildlife still have a place to live as well. 🙂
You might get some jostine berries, lingonberry, mulberry, tayberry, aronia and goji berry. Rosehip fruit and Olive berries are good too. Honey berries are also delicious and Arctic raspberry would increase your season they're very early.
The pineapple strawberry was one I didn’t know about, thank you. I planted a Jostaberry last year as my 14 year old Gooseberry plant died. I am excited to trie some of your currant recipes as my plants are doing well!! Thank you again, I enjoy your videos. Lisa from U.S.A. zone 5
I actually did know about all of the berries, because I found this video by being obsessed on youtube finding new varieties. Awesome farm and you are very cute. You are missing the Haskaps!
I would consider spraying the leaves with a fungacide that is for organic gardens on the plants that had the issues with the leaves. Beautiful Berry selection! I never heard of the Berry that had issues with the leaves
Yes I knew all of them, I do not grow all of them. I have had an affair with berries for 48 year, as a child I climb wild cherry tree & shook the berris on to a bed sheet to make jelly. Wild muscadines, wild dew/blackberries. I have all these, tame & wild blue berries,muscadine Grape & table grape, raspberry, pears,persimmon, & some nut trees. I really injoyed you video.
Thank you very much for your video, it makes me want to dabble in many other berries. Right now, I have my first Blueberry bush. It seems that netting may be a must for its successful future!
thnx for sharing I had to watch it twice, I missed one. Jostaberries is new to me never heard of them. I want to begin collecting different berries and fruit trees in my garden. I have a fig tree I planted two or three yrs ago, but haven't gotten any figs off of it yet. I started it from a cutting from a friend. It is getting huge, it is as tall as my shed/chicken coop. You have a "lovely" garden. Congrats.
Thanks very much for your kind comment :) Collecting berries and fruit trees is such a brilliant idea for a low-maintenance garden. You might want to research forest gardens -- it might be up your street.
Thank you for an excellent video. Didnt know about the gooseberry/blackcurrant cross or the pine berry but I've had very good success in the past with all of the other berries and currants I'm now trying to build a new greenhouse and produce garden with huglecultureraised beds x.
Didn't know jostaberries and pine berries. The jostaberries are very intriguing. I also would like to grow goose berries. Favorites are the blackberries and raspberries....I inherited the love of these from a grandfather.
The only one that I didn't know and don't grow was the pineberries. I grow all of the others including a couple of Jostaberry bushes and just this spring I've planted about 18 small alpine strawberry plants started from seed. Great video.
I wasn’t familiar with the white strawberry so you were right, there was at least one that was new to me. My raspberries are at least 2 weeks behind this season (U.S. VT Zone 4) but my blueberries (high bush) are looking like they will be right on time in August- I can’t wait!
Thanks Tanya, great video. Not familiar with either pine berry or josta but keen to try either. Regarding blueberries, a way to raise the acidity of soil immediately around blueberry bushes that we use here in New Zealand is to lightly mulch often with pine needles.
I have hundreds of berry bushes around my house. I planted everything that will grow in my area. But then I didn't know what I was going to do with everything. I started mixing the berries and making popsicles. I bought a Norpro 1951 sauce master that separates the seeds and skins and just leaves the juice and tiny pulp. I have several miles of forest behind my house and i take the seeded pulp waste and spread it all over. Now there are raspberries, currents, blackberries, sea buckthorn, honey berries, creeping mint berries, blueberries, and goumi berries growing everywhere. People hike through that forest all the time and i see them picking the berries. I should put up a sign that identifies everything.
Hadn't heard of the josta berries, but I am very interested in those thornless blackberries, something like that growing on a vine would be fantastic for me.
Most perennial berries like Potassium, so you might want to top dress the Jostaberries w/ well composted horse manure to strengthen them for the following year. I would definitely remove the affected leaves and apply some copper to limit fungal growth.
Lovely setting and delicious fruit. - my new garden here in South Australia is planted for a hot ‘Mediterranean’ climate with cool wet winters and hot dry summers up to 48C - my blueberries died but the strawberries seem OK - I use horse manure, blood and bone and pea straw mulch as my gardening regime - also have loganberries and thornless raspberries - I put white bird netting over the raised beds but most of the berry plants started to dry out despite daily Summer watering here - so I think the netting raised the temperature underneath - I might try building a large structure and find a way to allow the bees to get in and pollinate them - John in SA
Got to love RUclips algorithms lol. We are planning to set up a berry area during winter, in the next couple of months, tho the area is not great so going to try hydroponically growing a whole bunch just to try something new. We will do the main ones, strawberries, pineberries (now they are finally in Australia woot), blueberries, blackberries, raspberries. Then expand from there. I am debating on the thornless vs thorned blackberries tho, the wild thorned ones taste so much better than the thornless. Although side funny story. We were at my best friends house one day, and his mum came in after doing gardening and told us she doesn't care what, but she refused to mow the lawn anymore she was sick of it. Really it was telling my friend to do it himself rather than her. But typical teenagers, we didn't want to mow, so we went to the local strawberry farm that wasn't too far away, and they gave us all the 3-4-year-old plants they were replacing. Turned 1/2 acre backyard lawn into nothing but strawberries. Soon as spring hit in our area we practically non-stopped picked strawberries. It was great, there were so many we didn't even bother putting up bird netting, they couldn't eat them fast enough either. Mum wasn't pleased but she came around lol we just let them go wild. Ah great memories of younger years lol
I loved your video! Your gardens are lovely! We are also growing all that you mentioned, and lingon berries, dew berries, boysenberries, kiwi berries ( 6 or 7 varieties), wine berries, Logan berries, service berries, arctic raspberries, goji berries, sea berries,wolf berries,three types of mulberry, aronia berry,schizandra berry, multiple types of elderberry and high bush cranberries.

Saw where a guy painted strawberry shaped rocks and put them out prior to the real berries ripening. Birds left his real berries alone after encountering the red rocks. Neat trick.
Smart, place them around the berry areas, so they get used to dismissing them all.
I saw that one as well. It's from The Gardening Channel With James Prigioni.
I hang red wooden beads in my cherry trees. It works.
A couple of good ideas that I will give a try. Thanks.
I know most of them but I love the green ones
I haven't heard if Josta berries .Your berries are so beautifully maintained . Thank you for sharing your garden with us ! Your videos bring me such Joy !
They're very little work in all honesty. A nip there, a tie-in there, and over time they grow into their own. Glad you enjoyed the video BobbiLynn :)
I'm growing all of these except the pine berries, I just never got round to buying some. I'm also growing polarberries, wineberries, lingonberries, cranberries, honeyberries, chilean guava, pinkcurrant, worcesterberries... and probably more berries I've forgotten to list! I love growing fruit 🌺
wow that is awesome gud growing.
That's quite the grocery list of berries :)
@@Lovelygreens I went a bit crazy last year and bought every variety I could find 🤣
Where did you buy lingonberry plants!!??
I bought some boysenberry plants and I'm wondering if they can be planted near other berry varieties
Interesting ...
I also have 9 types of berries I'm growing. Some I just begun 2 weeks ago, so they might not bear for a year or two.
1-Seaberry or sea buckthorn
2-Goji berry
3-Honeyberry or Honeysuckle
4-Juneberry or Serviceberry
5-Yellow raspberry (Anne)
6-Red raspberry
7-Blackberry thorn bush
8-Blueberry
9-Pink champagne current
Tomorrow I plan on building a cement block raised garden and planting strawberries and asparagus.
Remember the three D's of pruning. Dead, diseased, or deformed. Cutting them off can't hurt, but leaving them can.
thank you 4 the knowledge
I've never heard of Josta berries. Your garden is so very well kept. Janice
I'm in a colder climate Canada and grow everything you mentioned. One that you didn't mention that I grow are Haskap (Honey Berries) and they are my favorite.

Do you think this would grow in Idaho? My cabin is above Dworshak dam , above Lewiston Idaho
@@robingalloway3541 You are in a milder zone than I'm in. I suspect they will grow there but until you try you won't know.
😮😮wow q cargada la grosella te cambio plantas
You were amazing on gardeners world, all your inspirational work should inspire so many more!!! Loved it xx
So peaceful!!!! The wind blowing in the background almost put me to sleep!!!
Nice berry supports looks very natural
As I start my new homes garden this is a good reminder to include berries ... Thank you from Manistee National Forest in Michigan, us.
Japanese Wineberry is my favourite soft fruit. It grows well here in North Wales, good cropper and the birds leave it alone. Jostaberry makes a big bush, but the birds get every one. I love Ben Sarek blackcurrant.
If it grows well in Wales then it will do well here. I'll look into it, thanks.

YES. The first two berry plants you talked about are new to me.
What a wonderful berry tour! Have the gooseberries but never knew what to do with them! Jam it is!

Thanks Al and appreciate the feedback 🙂
Im doing my first raised bed garden and this channel has been a huge help so far. I had never heard of the pineberries and those sound awesome!
They're an odd and tasty little berry. You know they're ripe when the seeds turn red.
great video. I grow many berries myself and I enjoyed watching this video so much.
Wow, they're all great berries and you are doing super great job to take care all of them.They are a few of them I don't know before and thank You for sharing!

Hi I’m in Southern California. I’ve only heard of half of these berries. Thank you for sharing your beautiful crops.
Very welcome :)
I haven't heard of any of these berries. Blueberries sound delicious!
Not even strawberries? I am curious where you are from I never considered blue berry unusual
Your energy flows well. Thank you
Thank you Tanya, my grandmother used to make gooseberry soup. It was delicious. Thank you for showing around. I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS.❤️❤️❤️

We are planning to set up a berry area during winter, in the next couple of months, tho the area is not great so going to try hydroponically growing a whole bunch just to try something new.
We will do the main ones, strawberries, pineberries (now they are finally in Australia woot), blueberries, blackberries, raspberries. Then expand from there. I am debating on the thornless vs thorned blackberries tho, the wild thorned ones taste so much better than the thornless.
Although side funny story.
We were at my best friends house one day, and his mum came in after doing gardening and told us she doesn't care what, but she refused to mow the lawn anymore she was sick of it. Really it was telling my friend to do it himself rather than her. But typical teenagers, we didn't want to mow, so we went to the local strawberry farm that wasn't too far away, and they gave us all the 3-4-year-old plants they were replacing. Turned 1/2 acre backyard lawn into nothing but strawberries. Soon as spring hit in our area we practically non-stopped picked strawberries. It was great, there were so many we didn't even bother putting up bird netting, they couldn't eat them fast enough either. Mum wasn't pleased but she came around lol we just let them go wild.
Ah great memories of younger years lol
That's what mum gets for a passive aggressive whinge -- a bounty of strawberries! Thanks for the laugh and good luck with the berry garden :)
I love gooseberries! But I hadn't heard of Josta berries before. Thanks for that.
