Raspberries Help

2 Upvotes

Has anyone had similar issues with their raspberries this season? I am assuming this is sun scald but could use some advice. I regularly water them 1-3 times a week depending on the heat and after checking the soil moisture manually. I am in 6b and it has definitely been a series of hot spells this summer.

These are two plants side by side(either end of the 8ft bed) in an 8ft x 2ft bed with 18in of depth before the natural soil.

Using a Bounty to Grow 'Hawaii 4' Woodland Strawberry

Post image
2 Upvotes

Using an Aerogarden Grow Bowl in this Bounty but not using the reservoir. Watering is only needed occasionally. Different pot sizes are not conducive to auto watering. I check the weight of the container and water if needed. I did have a 5/16" tube on the pump and a reducer to a 1/8" tube and a Netafilm 5" Netbow and ran it thru the view opening in the grow bowl but couldn't program it because it wasn't a regular schedule so removed all that. The AG reservoir is only used now as a drain to waste holding tank. Woodland strawberries don't tolerate high light intensities so I recommend keeping a light meter handy to check intensity as the plants grow. Adjust the hood height to shoot for around 400 PPFD at the top of the canopy. less

Carandas plum, or karonda, is one of India’s well-known monsoon fruits. It grows abundantly in the wild in many places, especially along roadsides, field edges, near ponds and rivers, and in the foothill regions. The fruit is small, tangy, and widely used for pickles, chutneys, and other traditional preparations, making it a familiar seasonal fruit in many Indian homes,

I just got into botany and stuff a couple days ago and found these berries up in Southwestern Minnesota. I tried searching online what they were, I only really found “Rosehips” but I don’t know, hell, I don’t even know if these are berries. Please help!

Resources for ID’ing/differentiating different species of Vaccinium and Gaylussacia?

2 Upvotes

I live in the northeast USA and have a seasonal campsite. In the woods behind camp there are a few different vaccinium species and I think a couple different species of gaylussacia. I’d like to learn more about them from a botany perspective, and what to look for next year when they’re flowering and fruiting to help me figure out which is which.

A lot of field guides I’ve seen will mention that wild blueberries and black huckleberries exist here but I can’t find much info on how to tell the different species of them apart. Is there a book or anywhere I can look for more info about them?

Thanks!

My strawberry plant looks like a beaver chewed through the stem 😭

Something attacked my strawberry plant! looks like a beaver got to the stem 😭
I found one of my strawberry plants fallen over, and the main stem looks like it has been chewed/cut almost like a beaver was at it. 😂 A second stem was chewed right in the middle just nog enough to be completely chewed down.
Has anyone seen damage like this before? Could it be a caterpillar/borer, or some other pest?

Berry Picking Gear

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

Hardcore picker here. Bagged 60 kilograms of raspberries, black raspberries, and blackberries this season. Still lots of blackberries left, I simply lost the will to pick any more.

Had the bug hat, and a mosquito proof long sleeve shirt, but this year I added a pair of picking gloves. Best decision I've made in a long time. By this time of year, my hands are usually so full of thorns that either blister out, or if not, puss out. Only have one thorn at the moment on my exposed thumb.

Not sure what kind of gloves those are supposed to be, but cutting the finger tips off was essential to be able to tell if the berry I'm grabbing is too mushy or not.

Might upgrade to a thin leather next year, as the fabric still has a tendency to catch the thorns.

Also have my favorite picking container. A plastic cashew jar that came with a little handle on the lid. It fits 1 kilogram worth of berries, which dumps perfectly into a dog poop bag I can tie off, then keep going.

And some long handled hedge shears to cut my way into those brambles.
