We have a guest blog series at Caledonian Horticulture talking about what we grow in our garden in Scotland, UK which if UK had zones it would be in Zone 8b.
In this series of blogs we detail all the soft fruits, fruit & nut trees, herbs, edible flowers & veggies that we are growing in our Food Forest, Mini linear Food Forest, Raised Beds and Kitchen Courtyard Garden. Through this series, you’ll discover practical tips on how to sow, grow, divide, prune and care for a variety of plants, while looking at sustainable and environmentally friendly gardening practices.
You can find the full list of the ongoing series
All About Series: Raspberries
Read the full blog post All About Raspberries at Caledonian Horticulture covering practical tips on how to sow, grow, divide, prune and care.
We’ve been growing raspberries across our Food Forest, Mini Linear Food Forest and raised beds for a few years now and they’ve quickly become one of the most rewarding soft fruits in our garden.
Their vigorous growth, reliable yields and ability to thrive in Scotland’s cool, damp climate make them a natural fit for our space.
Whether we’re harvesting handfuls for fresh eating or training new canes for next year’s crop, raspberries bring colour, structure and incredible flavour to our garden year after year. Read more about our berries here: Food Forest Gardening: How to Grow and Harvest Raspberries, Strawberries, Blueberries & More and Raspberries: Monitoring, Recording, Pruning & Planting in our garden.
The Autumn Bliss raspberries are the best that work in our garden, the longer time needed to ripen throughout the summer.
