Blackberry Plants

Here are a few more additions to my fruit garden adventure. I'm not sure on any of the cultivars, but I think I ended up with 3 different varieties of thornless blackberry. I hear that the thornless varieties aren't as tasty as the prickly ones, so hopefully these will be tasty.  I have gotten really scratched up climbing through wild blackberry brambles in the past, so maybe these will be a nice change.

Fruit Gardening (a.k.a Pie Gardening)

I'm planning on planting a variety of fruit crops this year including strawberry (first time), raspberry, black raspberry, blackberry (a first), and rhubarb (another first).  I've cleared out the majority of the oval bed that was my cut flower garden last year to make space for a fruit garden. I have a feeling that I'm going to have to make another new bed for the space-consuming rhubarb. I'm really excited to expand my pie and jam repertoire this summer!

The oval bed will become the fruit garden (assuming I can work around the existing perennial flowers).

Are you trying any new fruit crops this year?
