Wow June, everything looks really nice there. I'm curious about your raspberries. We planted 3 small bushes in the middle of last summer. They're really leggy now, and not very bushy. What do you do to tend to yours?

I don't really do much of anything. I plant garlic around them to keep them healthy and to deter pests. Aaron cuts them back but he cuts every stalk back halfway...where as I feel like you are suppose to leave the new stalks and cut back the old ones to the ground.

Actually looking at my organic gardening book, for summer bearing plants you do the every other method. For fall bearing plants you should cut them all the way to the ground leaving no stubs.

I remember having raspberries pretty late into the season last year. So we might have fall bearing bushes...so my picture above might not show the proper care for them.

Other than trimming them properly I'm afraid I don't have any suggestion for the legginess.
