Katya is right, they aren't as prolific and insideous as blackberries. Nor do they produce as much fruit. But what my plants do produce is delicious!!<br /><br />CG - I don't see why you couldn't plant them in a pot. You'll need a couple of tall stakes to tie the plant to but I'd give it a go if I were you. Ditto with tomatoes!Miss Kitty-Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15799389451342532485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456063560836602177.post-10951967693217564442011-02-07T11:07:28.046+11:002011-02-07T11:07:28.046+11:00The garden I am minding has a raspberry patch.

Once or twice I actually managed to get some inside and eat with cream. There is a another crop about to ripen but it will probably happen after I leave, sad for me but nice for my friend's who actually planted them!<br />Raspberries are great to grow too as they are nowhere near as rampant as blackberriesKatyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09196579501052471510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456063560836602177.post-83656492591201205552011-02-06T22:37:38.774+11:002011-02-06T22:37:38.774+11:00Great work Kitty.

I always thought they'd go crazy and take over the whole garden. I have a date with MIL to go and pick blackberries from the bushes that have taken over an entire paddock, before they get razed down. How do you contain your raspberries?Kiki Chaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337242565909559962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456063560836602177.post-46524048377534585322011-02-06T21:29:07.197+11:002011-02-06T21:29:07.197+11:00SSG II - I think she might have.

We had a beautiful greek salad tonight with the tomatoes we grew. Bliss. But there is still a heap of unripe fruit on the vines that I am looking forward to.<br /><br />Cate, I highly recommend giving it a go next summer. The only advice I'd give is get the plant in earlier than us and be prepared to wait at least a season... The reward is worth it though. So satisfying!!<br /><br />SSG, we managed to kill our lemon tree this year. So disappointing. But when we build the house we'll pull out our grapefruit which is struggling and replace it with a lemon tree. I'm thinking Meyer... Or maybe a lime tree....Miss Kitty-Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15799389451342532485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456063560836602177.post-44758166954309975972011-02-06T16:24:54.411+11:002011-02-06T16:24:54.411+11:00Am very impressed with your gardening and your ras...Am very impressed with your gardening and your raspberries !
