    Raspberries are small/sour?

    I planted some raspberry plants earlier this year and it produced a few raspberries this year... Kinda strange, as they all seem to be developing differently. For example, I planted two Anne raspberry plants. One of them is around two feet tall, and it's sprouting multiple branches going in...

    Question about tomato plants?

    How dangerous are they, to neighboring plants? I heard tomato plants harbor tons of bacteria, and you shouldn't plant them within a certain radius of other plants. I'm currently growing raspberry/blackberry plants, and I don't want them to get infected by the tomato plants. I personally don't...

    Just planted raspberries - what next?

    Do I need to prune it at all? I've seen one video where the gardener just pruned it down to 2 inches height... but I'm not sure whether that's gonna work for me. I live in Los Angeles, where the weather is a bit different, and I don't wanna mistime any pruning and ruin optimal harvest.

    Can I grow raspberries/blackberries in SoCal?

    I'm completely new to planting fruit trees, so I was hoping I can get some help from people with some experience. I've done some research on my own, but there's still a lot of stuff that confuses me. For instance, the zone maps. According to what I've read, the whole point of these zone maps...
