I just want to say Congratulations on being so very close to 2 million subscribers. And as a daily viewer, I want to say a huge thank you for never ever asking us to subscribe and like your videos. I subscribed to you in 2015 without any prompting and I've loved this channel every day!!!

[@tammywinter9268]

Me too, she’s a wealth of information!

[@cherylstanley7546]

Agreed❤

[@annebrody2371]

Yup, and all the family “stuff” too. DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING.! Thank you!

[@betweber266]

👍👍

[@lavidawithjoey]

I second this comment!

[@CandycaneLane999]

Can I just say 🎉congratulations on making your business such a wonderful success! Your hard work is paying off and I only wish happiness for your family. It’s so refreshing to see a family who thrives on this platform from wholesome values and hardwork as opposed to sensationalism….

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Amen!

[@truthtalker4038]

For people who don't have time or who can't prune your raspberries or fertilize them, they will still grow. Don't not plant raspberries just because you don't have time to maintain them! I never fertilized or pruned mine, and I had a massive production every year so don't be discouraged if you can't maintain them.

[@AndyLux123]

In my country they grow everywhere and they are never pruned or fertilised.

[@TreeHugginT]

Black berries grow wild here. All by themselves, every single year. I absolutely love this comment. We can sometimes compare ourselves to others and think because we can't be or do things just like them, we should just not do it. (I'm absolutely not saying that there's anything wrong with pruning them). 💜💜

[@jgwood10]

There are wild blackberry plants growing along the woods on my property that have been there since before I moved in a long time ago. The birds and wild life usually get them before I do. I guess the only reason to trim them is for the people who don’t like the wild look.

[@Realitytime2024]

If a person doesn't mind a messy, tangled raspberry crop, I guess it wouldn't matter.😊 with any plant cutting back the dead part is good, don't you think?

[@camicri4263]

Thank you!

[@niecieyukiye6654]

Great! My husband has been asking when I'm going to prune my Triple Crown blackberry. I tell him everytime he asks, "when Laura does a video this year". I love this channel. I can watch, learn & know when certain things need to be done in the garden based on my personal master gardener, Laura. Thank you!!

[@sheilagilleland4312]

Amen, that’s when I do things.👍🙌🏻

[@laurawhite7237]

I just purchased a triple Crown raspberry. Do you know if it is a June July, or a fall bearing type?

[@trangn6564]

you have the best cleanup skills and habits of all the gardeners i've seen; you look so effortless and tidy!

[@be_you2023]

Hi Laura and GA team, Thank you for taking the time to discuss the growth habits of raspberries. I bought a raspberry last year and was a little perplexed why it was growing without berries, but now I know. ❤ PS: I’ve noticed that Cheddar really comes alive in the cooler months and disappears in the hotter months; he’s a cool cat 😎🐈

[@rosa.athome]

Laura measures fertilizer like a home baker measures vanilla...with her ❤ 😂

[@michelleleapai7942]

You are such a hard worker. You amaze me how much you get done in a day.

[@wandabrown508]

I find the speeded up clean up part of every video to be so inspiring & satisfying: this furious activity is so productive. Also, I loved seeing the cat "supervising." Congrats on bring the kneeling pad back.

[@rosealvarado264]

Good morning all have a safe and blessed day ❤️

[@acerone10]

We had wild raspberries growing in the backyard. Our Pug, Gracie, would race up there each morning to see if they were ripe yet. She would smell them first and only eat the ripe ones.

[@peggyhelblingsgardenwhatyo7920]

Good morning, Laura, from Windermere Florida zone 9b 🇺🇸 Great job 👏 Happy Gardening Everyone 👩‍🌾👍 ❤Peggy❤

[@janetzveare7459]

You are just so good! There are so many other KZbin garden channels, but you are just so genuine and refreshing and pleasant. I do think some of the others try to copy you, but, there is no comparison! I love watching whatever you do. ❤️

[@tshockmom69]

I feel guilty not ordering items from your store. However, thru the years I have purchased these great items due to your use and they have lasted. I love them all. Thanks for recommending easier ways to become productive and happy gardeners! Power Planter, knee pad, kangaroo bags, felco, espoma, proven winner, gorilla carts, and so many more great products.

[@michaeldougfir9807]

Greetings from northeastern California! I am an arborist. My sister sent me this link and I enjoyed this video. I am going to paste in my reply, some basic observations from a tree man. "YEP I enjoyed this video. •Her Felco pruners are a good choice. Good quality •She seems SO organized •I like her 4x4 posts with caps on them. Attractive & sturdy •She pays attention to nodes. I do too •I like her energy distribution methods. I can relate to that •The gravel walkways look nice. But I was waiting to see cleanup on that. But she's got it down. •HUGE compost pile! I wonder if she ever chips any of that? •She's organized and speaks well. A good, sensible presentation. •Thank you for this video. I have shared it with my landlady Theresa. She loves gardening. Her T-shirt says she's a "Crazy Plant Lady". And she is so sweet." So, I just want to say I like your work. Oh -- in our area the deer make everything difficult. I heard a reference to a distant fence. Do you have a video on wildlife management where your garden is concerned? Thanks & Blessings, Michael. 🌲

[@belindapace1669]

Good morning, Everyone

[@alw5101]

I remember helping my mom harvest wild blackberries and doing exactly that crawling on all fours then popping up carefully avoiding those gigantic thorns and trying not to eat them all the work was hard but so rewarding!

[@amysgardenstead2879]

I watch these every year and pick up a new tip. I also use these as a reminder of garden chores in my own garden. Too cold here right now but in 2 weeks it will be time. I ended up putting a wood trellis behind my grapes because the wires just weren’t enough support. Maybe move the blueberries were closer to the raspberries, have them all in one place.

[@andym5558]

Me too! GA has helped me become a gardener and all I do is watch what garden chore Laura does and then I go out and do the same in my yard.

[@VirginiaMathews94]

I just ordered a kneeling pad! I’m so excited!🎉

[@RSKProd]

You are so so lucky you don’t have to worry about deer, fox, squirrel and groundhogs… just to mention a few. I dream of such a garden here on zone 6b with deer everywhere!

[@cynthiafisher9907]

It’s funny to watch Aaron and how excited he is for all the new things in your store. I think it’s smart to capitalize on the influence you have to help your viewers and to add to your income with your business. Go Aaron!

[@lindahopps739]

Just pre-ordered my kneeling pad! My 68 year old arthritic knees really need this!

[@CatCaretakerID]

I feel better now after hearing you say you still have to look things up every year and refresh your memory on how to handle them. I thought I was the only one dealing with that. So happy you got the new kneeling pads in. Yea!

[@donnabraden3126]

Thank you, Laura, for answering my question from the last video. You stated that you write it down and check your own process for the times you can’t remember. Good for you! It never hurts.

[@PinkyBlue1054]

I love it when a kittie shows up and enhances the scene xx also not withstanding your hard work and making gardening fun and with timely reminders of tasks, that eventually make the garden even more enjoyable 🎉

[@nancyreier1070]

Glad to see Russell’s cute little face. I bet he was so much help. Everything look so nice. God bless u and urs.

[@doityourselflivinggardenin7986]

I guess I need to ask the birds what variety they planted. 😂 The birds planted several varieties of wild red raspberries in one of my fenced gardens. Each year I would hack them back. One year I got too busy and they had berries. I decided to take care of them afterwards. Two years later I made a garden for them. Two years after that I determined some were not good so I focused on propagating from just one red raspberry plant. All others were pulled (crap raspberries & blackberries) I now have 2 rows of red raspberries that are wonderful! Last year I fertilized them for the first time with aged horse manure. Wow! What a difference! I also noticed that they had primocanes and floricanes. I removed the floricanes after the berries were done. Oddly, the ends of the primocanes had a few blossoms just before winter. My volunteer variety is probably a hybrid, but mostly June bearing, I guess. Flavor is intense. This year the canes are super long and wide, with loads of shoots. They have outgrown their rows so I will need to improve the fencing for them, similar to how you will fix your blackberry fence. Note that I tried twice to grow red raspberries many years ago. I could not keep those nursery varieties alive. This volunteer unique variety is perfectly adapted to my environment and thrives.😀 I did a similar feat with volunteer black raspberries. I started with one bird-seeded plant. I propogated doing tip rooting and planting seeds from the mother plant. I now have about 60 plants with harvests so large that I can make sauce, jam, and wine. And there will still be more left. Oddly enough, the birds do not eat them. Which is weird because the birds planted the original.😵‍💫 Before mine were plentiful enough for use, other than eating out of hand, I picked some at a u-pick. Sticker shock! And theirs were not even as good as mine. Within my seedlings I got a hybrid red raspberry x black raspberry plant that has purple berries. Very unique taste! My wife doesn't like them, but I do. Happy gardening!

[@ziggyustar3137]

20 years of trying to get the blackberries in control/ the worse time was while I waited for hip surgery(my neighbours hated me) Now this year one year of retirement and those thorns I have felt through my shoes, gloves, pants, they have even taken my hat off for me many times while pruning. It's like the plant is alive and trying to poke me so I'll stop cutting/. I have never had the need to fertilize. I'm almost done taking down the mass now it's time to dig up some and stake the rest. Cheers/ I can't do it daily but you are my inspiration and I love your gorges thick hair girl to girl

[@melaniecalderon8973]

Thank you for this video, and to all the contrary comments on here, there's no need for that. Dont watch (or comment) if you dont think its important. This is education for many of us and a reminder of what we can/should be doing in the garden this time of year. Im going to finish up my pruning as soon as the rain stops 😅 Thank you Laura.🎉

[@nemo6728]

Good morning everyone! After 4 years of waking up to Laura and family I’m still 100% engaged. Couldn’t start my morning without Laura! I looked through all of today’s comments and I don’t see any reference to today’s video editing. Is it just me or was the unusual speed and rapid changes cause anyone to feel nauseous? I still feel a little dizzy…..😢

[@kathy8832]

Good morning! That had to be so satisfying to you. Everything looks so clean and ready for Spring!

You make fertilizing easy..I thought I was doing it wrong all along.❤

[@Jdadkins6198]

I just mowed mine down in the fall. The Japanese beetles were all over the fall golds new buds. Totally grossed me out. I don’t know why some years those beetles don’t touch certain plants one year then the next year, just relentless on them. You’re so lucky Laura not to have those awful pests. 😊

[@seanaames6855]

Japanese beetles are spreading, though. 😢 it wouldn't surprise me if they showed up there at some point.

[@Jdadkins6198]

@@seanaames6855 It’s so frustrating. They need to find a way to eradicate them without hurting the other native bugs. We didn’t have them here in KS, 10 years ago at least at my old house never saw them before a few years ago.

[@cynthiarafferty7662]

Japanese Beetles start out as grubs in your grass. Eliminate the grubs and you disrupt their life cycle. I fought Japanese Beetles on my 24 rose bushes when I lived in AL. The darn bugs love roses too. On the rose bushes I could use a systemic to kill them off but of course you cannot use that on a food crop. Your best bet is to treat the grass and cut down their numbers each year. I hope this helps. Happy Gardening this year!

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Actually, they did show up in Boise at one point not too long ago. Somehow the state was able to eradicate them quickly.

[@Jdadkins6198]

@@cynthiafisher9907 I noticed when I order plants from north and south west coast states, they have to do an agricultural test with anything coming in or out of certain states Oregon especially. Even though I’m sure it’s a pain for selling in general. I definitely see a benefit for keeping horrible pests like the spotted lantern fly and Japanese beetles from being spread. I talked with our local greenhouse about them being all over their plants too. He said the soccer and football fields by them are never treated for grubs. Which is understandable, it’s expensive to treat large portions of land. We have a school by our neighborhood and we could treat all our lawns but they will still find their way to our beautiful gardens.

[@jacksonstacy3813]

I just cut all mine down to the ground can’t wait for the new growth to come back this spring and tons of berries 😊

When my family lived in Germany, for the military, we rented from an elderly man, in his early 70's. He tended all the garden beds around the house. Including a large patch of garden in an expansive lawn. He tied up his blackberries like grape vines, as you mentioned. My kids and I would sneak a few now and then🤭 they were the best tasting blackberries I've ever eaten

Your berry picking experience sounds like mine when I was young. We always went to my Aunts farm to pick wild black berries. My two other Aunts would come with their children too. Our mothers would stand on the out skirts of the thick black berries bed. Guess who got to go into pick the berries, all the kids while our mothers would stand outside and watch us. 🧐

Excellent video Laura! I only have a small amount of blackberry and raspberries but didn’t know how to prune properly. Thank you for taking us along!

I cut mine down to the ground last year because I need to get a staking system in, I was using big tomato cages but now that my plants are bigger and starting to spread, they have outgrown them. I'm thinking of doing something similar to yours but I need to be able to accommodate the curves in my bed. I made a kidney shaped bed, drove 12 inch metal edging into the ground to stop them from taking over and planted two, one heritage and one fall gold, honestly wouldn't mind getting rid of the heritage and getting another gold, like you, I love them so much more haha. They are so sweet and just melt in your mouth, when I gave a couple to my neighbor she was super surprised and loved them too. If I had a good spot, I would make a second bed just for the fall gold.

[@Michelle_Vargo_]

Super interesting! I bought a container raspberry plant last year but I’m unsure of its growth cycle. It must have been at least two years old because there were some raspberries on the plant when I purchased it. The card instructions said not to prune at all but my better instincts told me to go in on a sunny day mid winter and pull off anything that wanted to come off with just my hands and fertilize. Now the canes are nice and tidy. I’m excited to see if it will produce again this year!

Ok seriously I just put some blackberries in last year and had no idea what to do with them. I’ll definitely feed them but I think I’ll let the stems fall over and stick the ends in the ground to produce more plants. I have the berries growing up on stock panels and can tie them up pretty well.

[@jgwood10]

You will get more plants in no time. They do that on their own by sending out shoots.

[@KaraL_92]

Have you ever considered planting the exact same thing (raspberries or other crop), side by side with the same conditions and testing out how much using garden tone helps production? I have noticed a change when I use Garden Tone, but when telling others about how much it helps I find I often have no reference beyond my word/personal experience. It might be a fun experiment.

[@sustainabetty8069]

I was advised to prune my first year blackberry canes once they reach 4-5 feet to size control them and encourage branching/more fruit production. Have you heard of this method before? It’s definitely an extra chore mid-season and I’m not sure if there are disadvantages to pruning them at that time of the season.

[@brianshipley5543]

My wife absolutely LOVES your videos and has used tons of your tips for our gardens, flowers, fruit tree's, etc. Im a Ford Lariat guy, who loves his John Deer diesel tractor and all the attachments, as well as being a musician that loves to use the Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro (That Aaron recommended), on my Apple Mac M2 Studio. So how about an "Aaron Answer" show once in a while? lol.. What guy doesn't love to see info on tractors, fords, or just nerdy PC programs.. I could use some help figuring out these programs. Just a thought.. Thanks

[@proudmomma7095]

Laura, can you recommend any variety of berries that can grow in a ‘wild’ setting on land around our lakehouse - without much care? We aren’t at the property often enough to fiddle with them but would love the treat for us and our rental guests.

[@MrsDebBee]

Saw your face all over the Northwest Flower & Garden Festival in Seattle, Washington on another KZbin channel. They have life size cutouts of you girl! You need to hop up there and check it out. ❤ I hope you’ll show the installation of the wiring in the blackberry beds, I need to add some more to mine. I love your videos cause it reminds me what I need to be doing! ✔️ Love your stories too 🤗 👋

[@mrsta1267]

It amazes me that you can rake over your gravel and it stays in place! If one had a single bush, would a support like a cage of sorts on the bottom be a good idea? Right now mine is just splayed out taking up lots of room.
