Send me some. Well yeah. I could live off of them.
I want to do a straight raspberry wine grown here to save. No sugar no extras. Just raspberry. But it takes a LOT of them.
So. I'm out back weeding the garden. And they aren't looking good. The leaves on the northern facing side are dropping and the green stems are like burnt rubber. Bendy but brittle. But the short stems are robust and the leaves on the south eastern sides of the plants are green and happy.
I'm thinking that they might due back but survive if nutured. Won't produce this year. But maybe in a year or two. Unless one of you fruit gurus can help me nurse them back to producing.
Oh yeah. And I propped up that thick lattice work ya saw in the pic behind them. Maybe I'm an idiot but I thought maybe having the weight of the pant more held toward center would help them from dropping and take root.

Right now they have to establish their root system and get over the shock of transplanting. You can make your own root stimulator with willow. Clip the ends of willow branches, the green tips. Strip the leaves and cut in small pieces, soak for 3 days in a cool place. Then dilute and water the raspberries with it. You can also use the solution to root cuttings.
