I walked out to water my plants this morning and found I had actual raspberries. I was so excited. When I bought the plant from the local nursery it was just a bunch of sticks. The lady at the nursery told me I wouldn't be able to grow this plant in this area. I asked her why they would sell it because it wasn't cheap. My online research told me that it would be fine, as it is a hybrid thornless raspberry. Of course she didn't have an answer. As I was leaving, another employee was so excited about the plant. I relayed what I had just been told and she said that it should do great. Heading home I had mixed feelings about spending so much money on a "maybe" plant.
Over the next few weeks it began to really grow. I was beginning to get a tad excited. Then flowers bloomed and I knew what would follow. So this morning I have actual raspberries. They aren't red yet, but I'm hopeful it will be a wonderful, producing plant.
Do you have favorite plants you are growing? I'd love to hear what plants you absolutely could not live without.
Hugs,
Jenni
Congrats on your success! Glad you took the initiative to investigate and take the risk. Your reward was probably doubly exciting!
