Berry Planting Mayhem! Bees vs. Me vs. Blackberries (and I'm Winning... Mostly)

Alright, folks, it's berry-planting time! And let me tell you, I've got my hands full – literally. I'm tackling three Prime Ark Freedom blackberry plants, but they've got some VERY enthusiastic (and stingy!) visitors – bees and wasps EVERYWHERE! 🐝 I'll be showing you how I'm trying to gently "encourage" them to relocate while I get these bad boys round up and wound up. Wish me luck! 😅 But it's not all stings and sweat! I'm also going to walk you through how I'm using cattle panel fencing to create a sturdy trellis and espalier these blackberry and raspberry vines. I've found it's the perfect way to maximize space and get those berries growing up, not out. Makes a cool design element for the space as well. *In this video, I'll show you:* How I'm (attempting) to coexist with a swarm of buzzing berry enthusiasts. My step-by-step process for planting blackberries and raspberries. How to build a simple and effective cattle panel trellis. My tips for espaliering blackberry and raspberry vines for a bountiful harvest. And, of course, some hilarious close calls with the local stinging wildlife. Get ready for some berry-growing chaos and hopefully, a delicious harvest in the future!

So what to do? I'm going to try growing anything I can get away with from zones 9 and maybe 10! Might be getting some guava, papaya, and even mango’s to try to get them to grow and thrive in my little food forest. I have watched days to weeks worth of YouTube videos on Back to Eden Gardening, wood chip gardening, permaculture, planting guilds and many other styles of gardening. I’m doing my own thing but still following what I’ve learned from all of these great youtube teachers, as well as grow a regenerative and organic garden. But seriously, a big thank you to all the creators I’ve been watching that have been outstanding at teaching me. I can only hope my videos continue to assist others and show that anyone with the willingness to try this, you can do it too! Clicking on these links is part of the amazon associates program.
