Raspberries and Strawberries in Raised Beds?
Comments (0)I just recently moved to Medicine Hat, Alberta (supposed to be zone 3b) and was planning on planting raspberries and strawberries in raised beds.

I later did some research to find that this variety does not do well in far north locations or high altitudes, though apparently works very well for many other places....See Moredigdirt2
