Raspberries (Latin: Rúbus idáeus) are a favorite berry for every Russian with a garden plot. The berry is used in virtually any dessert and drink, and is also enjoyed plain or fresh. Its beneficial properties cannot be described in a single sentence—that would require a separate article! Not only the fruit itself is prized, but also the leaves. Raspberry bushes themselves look equally beautiful in a garden. Growing raspberries begins with planting seedlings. A well-chosen planting site, high-quality seedlings, proper planting techniques, and subsequent care of the young plants will ensure a bountiful harvest of this valuable berry.
1
Sow raspberry seedlings in 7.5-centimeter plastic pots filled with moist soil. Sow two seeds in each pot, planting them 0.6 cm deep. Cover the pots with a plastic bag to retain moisture and place them in a room with a temperature of 2.1 degrees Celsius (48 degrees Fahrenheit) for germination.
2
Remove the bag once the first seedlings appear, usually within five to seven days of sowing. Move the pots to a sunny windowsill and water the soil when the surface dries.
3
Hoe the top 10-15 cm of soil in a well-drained garden bed with full morning sun and light afternoon shade. Do not fertilize or add compost, as excess nutrients in the soil will prevent raspberries from developing their full flavor and aroma.
4
Transplant raspberries when the seedlings are four weeks old and there is no longer any danger of frost. Dig a hole for each seedling the same depth and width as the pot. Space the holes 30 cm apart in all directions.
5
Remove the seedlings from their pots and place them in the holes so that they are at the same depth. Fill the holes around the roots with soil and water the bed until evenly moistened to a depth of 15 cm.
