My family is visiting for the week, so I have an extra outlet for all these squashes and zucchini. One of our pumpkins is going haam and I’m excited for those to start ripening.

What’s growing on with you all?

    Nice! On the off chance you still have the tag, or if you recall the cultivar, I’d recommend checking to see if it’s a “summer bearing” or an “everbearing” variety. If it’s summer bearing, remove the old canes at the end of the season to make room for next year’s canes. If it’s everbearing, you can leave them to fruit in spring and then remove them in favor of the younger canes for summer fruiting.

      I got it as a potted cutlet from the one my parents have had for over a decade, so no idea what the cultivar is really. I might try some Google lense-ing when the fruits are ripe.

      Some initial research showed that for yellow raspberries (which it should be, because the mother plant is) it’s actually normal to fruit year one, so yay 🙏
