RE: Blackcap Raspberries - Abundant Food, Medicine, Joy and Seeds!

Great article!

I have tons, so need no seeds, but the majority of mine are either self-sown or from naturally occurring tip layering.

Our original plant was either bird- or mouse-sown, and came up from under our covered front porch, so they are resilient indeed, and quite determined. ;-)

Fabulous raspberries, great flavor and resilience, and well worth growing.

I should note that I'm on the Highland Ridge of the Cumberland Plateau, in the foothills of the Appalachians, and not the PNW.

Wow what a great story about how raspberries joined you and came into your garden :) How nice that you embraced it and went with it :)

Yeah, I've nicknamed them the "Volunteer" raspberries, since this is the Volunteer State, and I've now got over a dozen babies that I'm planning to use to create a living fence near the front of our property.

And I'm hoping, once they're in full sun, that the berries will be even sweeter!
