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.

A year ago I was very proud of myself for having eradicated the chocolate mint I planted a decade ago.

This year I have discovered new chocolate mint in the yard, far from where it was.

It was strawberries for me. The delicious fuckers go everywhere.
