the complete guide to pruning raspberries for beginners and gardeners

Varieties that bear on a primocane can be cut down every year. Prune back canes that are done bearing fruit. For ever-bearing or fall-bearing varieties, you can cut the whole patch down every fall before snowfall. There is no need to prune raspberry bushes in the summer. Topping makes berries bigger or juicier. #gardeningtips #howandwhentopruneraspberries #raspberrypatch #gardeningtipsforbeginners #pruningraspberries #pruningraspberrybushes #raspberryplantspruning #backyardhomesteadhq

FROM AN 1800s COOKBOOK: "The unpopularity of prunes is unfortunate. This may be because prunes were formerly one of the cheapest fruits or because they are cooked and served in the same way too often. Desirable results can often be secured by combining prunes and other dried fruits with tart fruits such as apricots, apples, and rhubarb."
