Tellis for everbearing raspberries
Comments (5)Hi Rick- 20' apart may be OK as long as you have solid anchors so you can put good tension on the wires. My earlier trellis werenÂt made with 4x4s and simply rotted/bent/moved over time. Thus my desire to over-engineer something so I don't have to do it a 3rd, 4th, 5th time. Normally I say that it doesn't matter how far apart you plant raspberries, but 1 every 4 feet is a bit much. I usually do a plant every 15" or so. Yes, you're right, they will spread out, but that will take time, and it will probably be quite a few years before that bed fills. If it were me, IÂd double the number of plants. For bareroot plants, theyÂre probably only about $3-4 each, so it would probably cost you another $50. For me, IÂd rather spend the extra $ to get into better production sooner. Make sure you really investigate raspberry containment. Otherwise, all your berries will run together. You may want to burry a weed barrier between the plants that will go down 18 inches or so. (I would study up on this before you do though) Maybe for Caroline/Anne, IÂd back it down to 24" and 36", but an exact number is tough to come by considering that my berries may get slightly more shade than yours, and also our climates are bound to be slightly different. My Joan JÂs werenÂt too vigorous last year and would probably only get to the 24" mark, so I would only be able to answer that question on them after this year. Good luck! -Glenn...See MoreDoes anyone know why Subway doesn't put mayo on the bread?
Comments (52)LindaC, now you're talking Elery's language. He spent his teen years working in a small neighborhood grocery owned by an Italian family. Now we sometimes go to GB Russo's and he gets a sandwich from the deli, much like you describe, but with a special "dressing" that seems a lot like vinegar and oil with herbs to me. The capicola is too spicy, the raw onions give me heartburn, even if I pick off the hot peppers the residue remains and I don't like vinegar and oil dressing, LOL. So, I'll pass, but Ashley and Elery think they've gone just this side of heaven. (grin) Ashley likes the addition of mortadella on hers, and as far as I can see, that's bologna! I've had Jimmy John's once and that was enough, and the only sub joints here now that I've moved is Subway, Mancino's and Jimmy John's. They all have way too much bread and not enough "stuff", so if there's no other choice I'll throw away the top half of the bread and eat the rest of the sandwich. I do the same thing with most restaurant sandwiches anyway, everything now has seemed to go to "artisan" bread and it's inches thick, far more bread than filling.

Comments (15)I own a small kitchen cabinet showroom and I would take your business! I can give you some insight however to the problems you are facing. First of all, buying one cabinet isn't the issue. For me, the delivery is. I use a local service and for me to deliver one cabinet (up to 5) the cost is $250. A whole kitchen costs $350, but no more than $550. To add that cost to the cost of the cabinet, is usually cost-prohibitive. I fortunately, have as my business partner, a contractor with a truck who will do these smaller deliveries for me. However if it is a larger cabinet, he needs another man, who must be paid, and the problem starts again! As far as countertops, kitchen cabinet showrooms usually do not fabricate their own tops. The way this works is, I as the owner, am charged one price, and then I am supposed to sell it to you with an upcharge. This is all well and good except I have NO control over who is making/delivering your top. When they don't show up as planned, when the seam is wrong, etc..., you, as the buyer are mad at ME, and I had no control. It is not worth the $ I could potentially make. Therefore, my practice is to give my customers MY price, thereby alleviating me of the responsibility. My customers can deal directly with the countertop people. I make it very clear. You get my price, but I am not involved. Everyone is happy! : ) That having been said, I will always help anyone with a small jobs - guide you and explain all of this so you don't feel brushed off. Good luck!...See MoreBetter yields from summer- or ever-bearing raspberries?
Comments (24)drew - You sent me two.. the Rosanna did not live but the Cascade Gold appears to be hanging on. It sent up a new cane but it died...looked like downy mildew or some type of fungus. I'm going to try to nurture it to success. Sounds like the trailing blackberries I sent you didn't live through the winter either. I didn't have any established trailing blackberries die but all got zapped by the -12F temperature this year. On the upside, all of the trailing berries are entering their 2nd full year and they are growing like crazy! I'll finally be able to try Columbia Star and Newberry. mhayes - That's sounds very interesting. I have never heard of a raspberry that has lateral branching that long. Do you have any pictures to share? On my Royalty raspberry plants, the primary canes cane reach 7ft but there isn't much branching but I haven't been pruning them either. All - Anyone try growing Nova, Taylor, Cowichan or Lauren summer-bearing raspberries?...See Morespartanapples
