About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges and tips for growing strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries.

A perfectly ripe strawberry right off the plant tastes worlds away from an underripe store bought one. But often people get frustrated growing them for various reasons. Bruce and I hit upon all aspects of growing strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries from which varieties to choose, soil, pest problems and more.
