If you don’t mind me saying, you have a gorgeous bush.

Came to say: nice bush :)

Wow, that looks... Organized. Our raspberries are everywhere

I cut the errant shoots every few days I’ve found em 16 feet to the right in my rose bush even.

I'm tempted to plant it in my front lawn, just so I don't have to mow anymore

I’ve heard mowing raspberries depending on the variety can be beneficial every few years.

The ones that pop up in my grass I leave until mowing unless they start getting big, then I trim it at ground level.

Ok so I just bought a raspberry bush and the recommendation on it was to plant it in the middle of the yard so it gets caught up in the lawn mower to trim it back so this is a apparently a popular strategy.

I threw down wild flowers + clover and have let it go crazy.

I am thinking I maybe should have gone for the creeping thyme or something more productive.

Pretty but a mess.

Very nice, have you considered a trellis for the canes to lean on?

[-] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It’s wholly inadequate for the task at hand, but yeah haha.

I’ll be fixing it this weekend hopefully after my steroid shots this week.

I've had good luck making my trellis out of electrical conduit, a 90° bender and some non-trade connectors to make t-joints. I just wish I had gone with the bigger 3/4 inch diameter EMT pipe.

Emts not a bad idea, got loads at my shop. The rigid is great since you can thread it, and it supports itself decently too.

If anything I’ll just screw some boards in to hold the metal grid better. It’s just supported by some bamboo stakes as an emergency fix.

I’ve got ideas to use some pvc for my garden critter guards, so wouldn’t be much to get some lengths for a trellis for this. Still learning as I go, which is awesome.

I’m really liking that way this arches over though, I think I’ll make sure whatever I do isn’t too tall so it can continue to do this.
