We live in southern Minnesota and want put some raspberry bushes in the backyard, being new to gardening should we wait until next spring or could they establish themselves well enough during the hot summer months to survive the winter without expert attention?

If you even thought about raspberry bushes, they’ve probably already taken over your yard, and are coming for your house. And they can’t be stopped.

Oh no delicious berries will overtake the invasive ugly European grass! Whatever will I do!?! 🙄

Hateful thorns change minds. Give it a season.

Thornless varieties exist
