Introduction to Black Raspberries

[@jdogsbad]

This is probably one of the best video's I've enjoyed watching. I'm an old-timer raised in the finger lakes of NY. Am now retired and living in Va. Just planted a red raspberry and black raspberry plants and I'm so excited to get my first harvest. Love your video. Bring us more please.

[@nistockfarms4020]

Super video. Thanks! I'm just getting ready to transplant a whole bunch of black raspberry plants from a neighbor's place where they are wild in the woods. I"ve been waffling over what kind of set up to make and this has really helped a lot! Practical and neat and obviously productive. Kudos to your videographer too. I've seen some sad videos that don't really show the details that need to be seen. This was great!

[@marygoodsell3602]

Very good video, there isn't a lot out there on black raspberries. I am growing many varieties and these videos are great! Thank you!

[@lydiaahubbell8545]

she is the Queen of Black Raspberries, as far as I am concerned.

[@lydiaahubbell8545]

Do different varieties cross-pollinate?

[@antonystarling]

Absolutely fantastic video very informative.sorry for the loss is your husband, it would be love to see more videos from you, a star in the making👍

[@lindatrzybinski2552]

These videos are the best I have watched so far on black raspberries. I hope this good lady will produce more than the two I have watched. Thank you!

[@Acts-1322]

She's so stinking cute lol, talks passionately a mile a minute like I would when presenting and explaining lol. Good info, and it gives her free exercise with a side income despite her loss of the husband.

[@joycewilson476]

My, My, My, I am like Joe Kendell on the show, or Johnny Gill, the singer. I agree with all of the other guest here, and we are guest!!! She invited us into her world, so kind to WANT to show us , as she said, "what she has learned. As I speak for all, I believe, I Just would like to Thank you for teaching us EXACTLY how to be prosperous in our gardens. If I had to vote for a video of the year, it would be yours! Maybe it should be suggested she gets a STAR rating for the production of this SUPERB video. I believe I will look into that, or if anyone already knows what to do, please implement. Let's vote!!!!!!!!! Job well done!May you be prosperous for the rest of your days.

[@RidaYash]

Love this video. Fantastic garden hacks too.

[@rleeusaraga]

This year will be my 1st time growing my own raspberry. I will started with 3 plants for now . I spent $20 for them. Thank you for your great tips & sharing your knowledge. Love your videos.

[@veek.6463]

This is one of my favorite videos on gardening. And I must say you have turned me back to raspberry gardening after seeing your t post system which I think is lovely. Thank you. Hope you had and have a bumper crop

[@redpumpkin28]

Oh my goodness... the milk jug attached to your belt loop to gather your berries, what a brilliant idea!! Love those gardening gloves too. Before I could finish watching, I had to pause it and go to Amazon online to see if I could order them there, and they were the first gloves to show in the search results! Thanks for the video! :)

[@georgestrait521]

boy it's too late now but I wish I woulda worn more gloves. my fingertips and the front of my hands got scratched up like no ones business

[@scrapstreams]

WOW! What a wonderful video you've created!!! SO much information, well explained, and so enjoyable to hear and see your excitement about your gardens.

[@bobbiejean864]

Love your video and your gardens/berry patches!

[@Pamela.B]

Just found this! Lovely garden & tips. Thank you.

[@macstabby_j]

I just discovered black raspberries at our new house- this is very helpful!!

[@thesupportcrew1]

I loved this video. I especially love the expression you use around 8:40. They're just about as handy as a pocket on a shirt. Love it. Keep making great videos!

[@TheTrock121]

Wow! Those are the best Black Raspberries I've seen. I put in Black Raspberries 3 years and they are coming along. I mulch w/ wood chips and lay rotten logs near the bigger plants, since they seem to like them. The only problem I've had is that Water Moccasins like to lay eggs in the wood chips.

[@JennyJardin]

!!

[@jakalair]

This will be the first year I try and tame the black raspberries from the side yard and organize them. Thank you for giving me a starting point to jump off from!

[@maxrockatansky1271]

really nice video.thanks for the wealth of information. i can tell how good your plants make you feel. everytime i have guest at home i usually go thru the garden and explain my process to them like you did.

[@jamaica10s49]

This is exactly the variety I was researching when I came upon your video. I don't know what they're called, but they grow wild in the mountains of Jamaica where I am from. Thank you for the effort. You've given me many ideas that I really do need. By the way. They grow very easy here from cuttings.

[@jacobspranger1267]

Blackcap raspberries perhaps

[@nancyjm79]

Wonderful video! Very informative and well done. You are so practical with the way you do things. I love it.

[@Wee_Heavy]

She is dropping wisdom. Thank you so much!

[@donettalowe9673]

thank u so much for showing us ur beautiful garden. well done!

[@alys89139]

Thank you for this informative video! You are a joy!

[@snorman1951]

An excellent video! Thank you for all the very good information. I have plans to transplant some raspberries this year and set them along a fence. This well help. I also have started some blackberry patches. Love them cobblers!

[@JuliaenLasMontañas]

Thank you! I planted black raspberries last year, and boy they have become unruly this year. You have given me some good tips! 😁

[@thechaosgardener]

Beautiful work! Love the idea with the milk jug. I’ll probably steal that.

[@poodledaddles1091]

Wow what a wonderful berry patch, I will have to watch it again and take notes!

[@thanhtuu4613]

Like your raspberry, it looks so good, thanks for your video

[@escapefromny2012]

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience and your garden with us.

[@tubro007]

Interesting video. Looking to start a new patch, your enthusiasm is encouraging.

[@cmccabe07921]

I really enjoyed this, very nicely narrated and excellent background info with great tips. Thank you!

[@flowerchild777]

Absolutely wonderful information. Thank you so much

[@mikeries8549]

We grow them too. Notice how they'll bend down, take root, and multiply that way? Birds plant seeds all over the neighborhood along every fence. Spreads pretty fast. June is raspberry month here in C-U.

[@DK-qx3lv]

I love how much you love those raspberries! Inspiring

[@georgestrait521]

Hey there. Basically wanted to thank you for making this video because it really inspired me. So far iv'e picked about 23 gallons of black raspberry in an enormous patch that the birds made here in Minnesota. Really just wanted to know how your raspberry picking has been this year. and also wanted to thank you for the gallon attached to the belt idea. I really think that you helped me in a tremendous way. also I was wondering if you pick any red ones

[@ScottCrothers]

WOW, Black Raspberry Lady! I planted one plant, but now I'm going to move it to a sunnier location. Got another one that'll join it. Thanks for all the tips. It's hard to find the plants to buy here, so I hope they spread.

[@neofliermike]

If you bury and anchor the tip of a primocane either in a pot or next to it in the ground, it will start growing a separate black raspberry plant! They are not rhizomic so they are easier to control :)

[@billastell3753]

Great advice. It's wonderful how excited you are over your lovely patch.

[@jessywinters5350]

Very interesting, quite an operation you have there!! I’m starting some raspberries in my small (urban) yard this year and have much to learn- I hope you continue to share your raspberry wisdom and processes! :)

[@paulatighe7073]

beautiful job, you have mastered it. extremely educational video-thank you

[@edelweiss4371]

The best! Simple, knowledgeable, wonderful lady! Thank you a million!!! A lot of mulch! How do I have to mulch in California?

[@dawnguthrie9822]

I live in Illinois also. I would love to know how to start a Black Raspberry patch. It makes the best jelly on earth!

[@emileemyers3957]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ your garden is just lovely!! I'm in awe

[@farmerdude3578]

Nice video. I too love growing raspberries. I found keeping the plants thinner with Room bet wine plaints is a big advance for me. I get a bigger berry and yield. And I don't get hurt near as bad by the pokers. And the canes are much higher and easier to pick. Do you sell any of your berries? I will need to sell next year and have no idea what price to ask. Thank you.

[@RCichard]

Great first video! I have black, yellow, red, and pink raspberries myself and know the addiction! Good luck and keep it going!!

[@shawnsprague220]

Wow, this is an awesome video. I can't believe how many gallons you get from your plants. I pick them locally in my neighborhood and make jam (which my family devours). What do you do with all the berries?

[@borcz100]

That was just lovely - great job!

[@Daviemes13]

You ought to see the thicket of raspberry bushes we have on our mini farm. It's about 1/4 acre of just thick altogether raspberry plants and yes we are harvesting them this year but plan on thinning them out for next year for a better harvest. The berries are about half and half of small berries and large berries. We have about 5 and a half acres to tend to and the house alone is 101 years old. The older family who built the place planted grape vines and apple trees and walnut trees and they passed away and it went into the hands of hippies who painted peace signs in the old garage where we found a 1932 license plate. Plan on making some raspberry jelly with them and eating good this winter. Going to make some apple jelly and orange jelly also. Well back to the funny farm and we'll see how it goes.Great video.

[@georgestrait521]

that sounds amazing! if you ever need any help harvesting I'm your guy

[@xxUtopia]

🥺 So beautiful. Wish you still uploaded

[@collegeguy14]

This was great thanks for sharing

[@buddymerritt8052]

I love your video. When I originally planted our plants, I mixed blackberry and black raspberry. It appears the black berries are taking over. Will that happen? Now that our black raspberry plants are empty, when do I trim them down? How short!

[@MsClaudia74]

Excellent video. I wish I could do this to my front yard!!

[@karensingh4687]

Great video. Have you made any more videos?

[@lanarutterer2903]

Very informative. Thank you

[@marcuspowell2510]

So much valuable info. Thank you.

[@thepincushionman7063]

Perfect video. Just what I needed.

[@marianneszymaniak6758]

That will be me in about 10 years. 😂 Love it!

[@pamelaremme38]

Have you thought about cattle panels with zip ties on T posts to hold cattle panels to posts? I have what you used to have. A tangled mess. I'm thinking this fall would be the time to clean it up and make rows?

Wow! Nice patch you have there !

[@Qingeaton]

We have a wild patch that I am just starting to work with. I noticed many tips rooted into the ground, forming new plants. In removing old. dead canes only, I have reduced the volume in place by 2/3 already. This gives me an example of how they can be raised well, yet would exclude the tips from rooting it would seem. I did not know they also spread underground, as the blackberry does. This wild patch has produced really well over the years, it's just been hard to pick from. I'm hoping not to love them to death. Thought to fertilize them but then again..do I need to?

[@leehillard2841]

Love your first video, can you tell us what you mulched with, is that hay or straw? thanks! waiting for another video

[@privatedata665]

Great video

[@ForgingFreedomTV]

Beautiful job :) Mulching is the key right? Thanks for sharing

[@jrmars5434]

I've grown Black Raspberries for a number of years but I've never heard or read what to do with the canes in late summer when the canes grow very long in order to touch the ground and root. I don't want them all to root. Do I just cut off the rooting tip and preserve most of the cane or cut the cane back more severely?

[@roccoconte2960]

wow all the raspberries ,how do you keep track of all them,great job.

[@briancarb7544]

Those look just like the ones I had in my yard when I moved in here in mid Michigan. I've cultivated a number of patches myself and I think they are some kind of just native plant. They are very hearty for the most part and grow well in a wide range of soils it seems. Only drawbacks are they have small fruits and since they are all same they produce all at once. I had one question about the canes; It seemed like on some of mine, eventually there were brown canes that were dead so last year I trimmed a ton of them out. Do some canes eventually just die off and should be pruned down low & removed or do they come back? I figure since you are probably growing the exact same ones as me, and you've been doing it for so long you are probably the one to ask! :D

[@tubro007]

first year canes are green and male, no fruit. In their second year they turn brown and female, bearing fruit. You baby the green shoots and cut out the brown shoots sometime after they finish bearing that year. Someone said they highly recommend the cut to ground method, six inches, haven't looked into it, but that sounds like the recommendation I've heard for blueberries also.

[@Glad2BGolden]

I have a lot of green buds but no colorful black raspberries yet.

[@dennischildress5327]

Loved the video.

[@pinaypie08]

I would love to have a garden like yours

[@marthaconover4460]

GREAT video! I've got hundreds of plants growing wild all around my wooded property line. Even though I try to prune them, it's so hard to get to them by summer and I think I lose more blood to mosquitoes than the amount of berries I get:/ I'm so going to use that milk jug idea! Your video really made me decide to transplant them into rows. Are you just using straw for mulch?

[@Miguel-gx5tu]

Wow what a garden

[@sharonshiner]

gorgeous patches!

[@jovandjukic5923]

The most beautiful and best raspberries I've ever tasted, very tasty, unique and healthy. I have a clip on the channel of my black raspberries :)

[@MichiganWildcat]

outstanding video, thank you

[@wes9451]

I mulch very heavily... Yea saw the hay in the yard and was ready to call you Ruth..!

[@fit508]

Good , beautiful .

[@DougDennis]

I need some of those gloves!

[@happykitty1907]

Nice sounds

[@olgakiely6898]

Good video, thank you. How many times does the black raspberry fruit a year.? I live in Northeast florida.

[@TotemoGaijin]

In the midwest they're usually once a year around June or so.

[@22ryanoc]

I just planted 6 boyne Rasberry plants in a raised bed I built in ct. saw bear tracks in the mud which is rare around here. Roommate thinks they’ll all get eaten by critters. I want 4 non trellis blackberry bushes if I don’t fail. I wish I had a friend to garden with. Roommate is lazy lol

[@sandiam7809]

Thank you!

[@Gardeningoncursedground]

this vid tells me everything i needed to know thanks.

[@JennyJardin]

Thank you! What are the cages for?

[@deeyager1844]

Oh my lands! I am going to have to plant some.

[@user-et7fv6fz6q]

I have a question and apologize if you covered it. I’ve been mulching heavy for 3 years and continue to do so and I’m wondering if you get to point where you don’t need to add fertilizer or compost?

[@Adol666]

Damn this woman is like the Queen of Raspberries

[@kennethwerner5355]

Awesome

[@TheUniverseWorksForUsBeings]

Are you still doing the blackraspberry thing?

[@lydiahubbell6278]

I need to tame my thicket.

[@donettalowe9673]

however, I do have a problem with birds eating my Berry's. how can I detour them from my Berry's a tomatoes?

[@veek.6463]

You can buy some cheap netting cloth and lay it over your berries. Have heard little shiny mirrors work. An old fashioned scarecrow! Cats and dogs around. Bells in the trees (mostly because are shiny) - a combination of things should work to detour birds especially if you have a barn cat out early when the birds come around.

[@RCichard]

I paint small rocks berry color and spread them around in early early spring. After a few weeks the birds get tired of picking up the 'fake' berry rocks, they tend to leave the real harvest alone and forge for food elsewhere. In conjunction with my dog and cats, it does the trick!

[@probodhkumardimri7788]

Respected mam, waiting for another video.🙏🙏🙏 India 🇮🇳

[@cray.z.christv1503]

What are you using to trellis the raspbarries? Are those tomatoes cages

[@JennyJardin]

Someone tell me what kind of wire to buy for the trellis.

[@hardstylzz5024]

I use 14 gauge wire.

[@gardeninginmyyard]

where do you get all that mulch?

[@scottwebber652]

Way to much for my book though I appreciate the info. I just have enough for me not the the whole town.

[@TashasTattoos]

Helter sketler patch! 🤗

[@robertwren8878]

Are these raspberries or blackberries?

[@SilentSoulWhisper]

How do you keeps the bugs away??

[@veek.6463]

Neem is great stuff. So is perennial garlic planted between rows of other crops

[@ericschmuecker348]

Slow down Grandma'!

[@FaithRoss2817]

I WISH I could have finished your video, it seems like you have a lot of knowledge. But I'm sorry I couldn't understand most of what you were saying. You were talking so fast and sounded like you were frantic to just get it all out at once and over with.

[@lydiaahubbell8545]

Most people have short attention spans. This is the best video I have seen on Black Raspberries. You can slow the playback speed.
