Strawberry
Learn the basics of growing your very own strawberries and raspberries.
Blackberries (Rubus canadensis) are amazing to eat fresh from the bush or made into jams or pies. They’re quite vigorous growers, so ensure there’s room in the garden and also, train them to grow on a trellis – makes pruning and harvesting more manageable!
Winter is a good time to think about planting blackberries - packaged blackberry canes appear in the shops at this time of year, which makes for easy transporting and planting.
The first thing to do before planting is to clear away weeds because their competition will really slow the growth of the blackberries.
Blackberries should be planted in rows running north to south so the canes receive plenty of sunshine. Fruit can get spoilt from extreme heat and sunshine. Cover with shadecloth to protect the fruit.
