do i need to winterize blackberries
Comments (3)if your zone 6 is like my zone 6, then you need to do nothing. This year you grew primocanes, next year they will send forth new growth and be floracanes (which means you get berries) I seem to get a windstorm each fall which tucks my leaves neatly into the beds I use for blackberries, raspberries and currants. I just leave (pun intended) well enough alone after that and I've not had any problems. ~Chills...See MoreDo you need extra floor support?
Comments (3)Very likely not necessary. I'm guessing your tub is cast iron, in which case when in use it weighs about twice as much as your range. Of course a rigorous analysis of such things includes many factors, including joist species & grade, dimensions, spacing, and span, as well as where on the span the load is resting (near the end of a span as in your case is good) and what other loads the joists in question are bearing....See MoreGrowing blackberries...
Comments (8)Yes, that is true, but it is more a problem replanting. You don't want to plant tomatoes where you grew tomatoes the year before either. So don't grow tomatoes and put raspberries there the next year. It's good to know these things, thanks for mentioning it. As long as you plant them next to each other and not together, I don't see it as an issue. And next year you will need to grow something else in the spots. Well you can leave the strawberries. My raspberries keep invading the strawberry bed which is right next to it. I would not grow caneberries there, but next to it? Sure. One does need to rotate crops. I do every year. With caneberries you can't, but I grow all mentioned right next to my caneberries. I just rotate them in 3 different beds. All next to my brambles....See MoreDo I need to add supports to this plant?
Comments (27)Ryan, don't take that leaf off unless the problem begins to spread. Spots and blemishes are quite common on leaves of all plants. There's really no way to know what caused it, and unless it spreads there's no reason to take off the entire leaf. If the black area is 'fuzzy' (not the leaf itself, many leaves are fuzzy), then it could be a mold. However, sunlight kills most black molds and fungi, so no need to worry too much. It looks like it's just a blemish, and nothing to worry about. :-)...See Morejellyman
