    The most tender and fragrant of summer berries is undoubtedly raspberries. It is necessary to collect it in small wickers, otherwise the berries will turn heavily on the way home, and process on the day of collection.
    Wild raspberries cover the forest fringes and felling in the entire northern Europe and Russia. Fishing wild wild berries is a favorite occupation of rural residents. Often, where raspberries grow in the forest nearby, garden varieties are not even bred. But varietal raspberry certainly grows in suburban gardening.
    To the south, raspberries are replaced by a close relative - blackberry. Its thickets can be found in the Caucasus, in the Crimea, throughout southern Europe. Cultivated varieties and hybrids of blackberries and raspberries grow in local gardens.

    Both these cultures are perennial, but they have a unique life cycle. From the rhizome-long-liver in 1-year grow young shoots, which winter, and on 2-th year yield and die. Therefore, caring for raspberries and blackberries requires special, with normalization of young shoots and removal of old ones.

    Go crazy, what a beauty ...
    I have been growing large-billed blackberry berry for 8 years. Started with one bush, or rather, with twigs. And gave it to me one employee at work. When given, nothing really could not tell how to take care of her. I thought that you need to plant it in the penumbra, but it did not go. Decided to do the opposite. I found the most sunny place, dug a half-meter depth of the ditch, poured grassy waste there, manure rotted, threw a little soil and landed my unhappy plant.
    It was in the spring. By July, new shoots appeared and it became clear that I did everything right. I dug a bush, mulched it with mowed grass, and watered abundantly once a week. By autumn, shoots had grown to three meters and were as thick as a thumb. And the next year I collected half a bucket of large berries from this bush. Now I have 6 varieties of large-fruited blackberries. The most fruitful of them are black Satin, Thornfrey and the Triple Crown.
    To have a good harvest, blackberries do not need to be cut off in the summer!
    I lower the young shoots to the ground - in autumn it is easier to cover, because the blackberry is afraid of severe frosts. As soon as it gets colder to 0 °, I bind the lashes and cover them with sheets of wavy slate. In the spring I put 2-meter stakes at a distance of half a meter from each other, then I cross-tie the poles in 4 rows across the wire and attach the stems of the blackberry to them to the full height.
    When it blooms - you can go crazy with beauty ... Pink flowers adorn the bush until autumn, and then the berries go. The blackberry is very fruitful and caring for it is not complicated. Make irrigation grooves around the bush, mulch with humus and mowed grass, and you will be with this beautiful berry from mid-summer to next spring. In summer you will eat fresh, and in winter frozen, in jams and compotes.
