Blackberry - Cheyenne
Blackberry Cheyenne, Rubus 'Cheyenne', produces a firm berry that is excellent for jellies, jams and freezing. Our most winter-hardy variety is ideal for the North and Midwest. 'Cheyenne' is thorny but is a very good producer. It is an easy-to-grow, early ripening variety. The Cheyenne ripens around the beginning of June here in the Midwest. Although the flowers are attractive, this blackberry is grown primarily as a fruit crop and is not considered appropriate for ornamental use. Furnish ample moisture during the growing period and cultivate frequently. After the first fruiting season, prune to the ground to allow room for new canes. Additional pruning should be done each spring to keep plants from becoming tangled and to improve their ability to bear Blackberries thrive in sandy or good to average garden soil. Plant them in full sun. In home gardens, keep plants about 3 feet apart. If planting in rows, keep them 3 feet apart in the rows, and keep the rows 5 to 8 feet apart. Mulch around the plants to a depth of 4 to 6 inches. Maintain depth of mulch by adding as necessary throughout the year. This food is very low in Saturated Fat, Cholesterol and Sodium.

Strawberry - All Star - DetailsStrawberry - All Star - Sale Price: $39.95
The All Star Strawberry, 'Fragaria x ananassa 'All Star', has excellent flavor and the plant is resistant to verticillium wilt disease. The entire crop ripens in June, mid to late season. This plant produces large, firm berries with high sugar content over interesting 3-lobed, toothed leaves on extremely vigorous plants. One of the most important aspects of a healthy strawberry patch is location -- a minimum of six hours of sunlight a day. Although you can get a harvestable crop with as little as six hours of direct sunlight per day, the largest harvests and best quality berries come from those plants that get the advantage of full sun. They are perennial, winter hardy, and will thrive in full sunshine, as long as the soil is fertile and well drained. Healthy plants will produce an abundance of berries for three to four years, after which they should be replaced. Your strawberry bed should have good drainage and be well tilled with rich organic matter such as manure or compost to give your strawberry plants a good start, with amendments again in the spring. Keep your plants well watered until they are established (but don't overdo) and up to fruiting time. Strawberries can also be planted in tubs, containers and hanging baskets. In addition to being low in fat and calories, strawberries are naturally high in fiber, vitamin C, folate, potassium and antioxidants, making them a sweet choice that advances heart health, reduces the risk of certain types of cancer, and gives a boost to total body (and mind) wellness. NOTE: When making a strawberry bed in an established garden, be sure to locate it away from any spot where you have grown peppers, tomatoes, eggplant or potatoes. These plants can harbor verticillium wilt, which is devastating to strawberries.

Grapes need a good support system like fences, walls, trellises, arbors or other structures. The grape vines can be quite attractive year-round and can provide good cover, screening, or shade to areas around the home. Grapes need full sunlight and high temperatures to ripen, so plant on southern slopes, the south side of windbreaks, or the south sides of buildings. Considered to be a good grape for juices and jellies. Birds love grapes, so be sure to plant some to share.

Raspberry - Killarney - DetailsRaspberry - Killarney - Sale Price: $42.75
The Killarney Raspberry, 'Rubus 'Killarney', is an attractive red berry with great aroma and flavor. This raspberry is excellent for freezing, canning and, of course, pies. One of the most disease resistant varieties, making it very easy to maintain. It is extremely winter hardy and was hybridized in Manitoba. Killarney is very sweet for a raspberry. The bees prefer these to all others, which can make picking a bit challenging at times. This plant tends to bear in clusters that weight down the canes, so support is recommended. The berries are versatile and can be used for fresh eating, in preserves, or in pies and pastries. Raspberries may be grown successfully at an elevation as high as 7,000 feet. They do best in full sun on non-alkaline, fertile loam soil. However, they may be grown in partial shade or under other environmental constraints. Natural protection against strong winter winds are provided in some valleys, but in other areas it is necessary to provide artificial protection during winter months. Although a well-drained soil is essential for success, a sandy soil will need to have plenty of organic matter incorporated in preparation. Raspberries need a plentiful supply of moisture throughout the growing season. Raspberries take little space and live for years. Birds also love the fruit, so you may have to share the harvest.
