The Complete Berry Guide

We didn’t set out to write a book about berries or even one single berry. It started with one video about telling a primocane from a floricane, and then another about what to actually cut, and before long the comments were full of the same questions over and over. What about raspberries? What about the ones with both kinds of leaves on the same cane? What about the berries nobody talks about?

So we gathered it all up. Every berry we’ve covered this season, plus the ones we hadn’t gotten to yet, planting basics, care, pruning, harvest and wash tips, all in one place. Blackberries, raspberries, wineberries, strawberries, blueberries, mulberries, elderberries, currants, gooseberries, aronia, serviceberries and honeyberries. If it grows on a cane, a shrub, or a tree in a home garden, it’s probably in here.

We’re writing from East Tennessee, but this guide isn’t just for East Tennessee. Every berry lists a general hardiness zone so you can check it against wherever you’re growing, because a flourishing garden doesn’t look the same in every backyard, and it doesn’t need to.

That’s really the whole idea behind this place. Designing a life, and a garden, that actually fits the one you’ve got. Not someone else’s version of it.

Grab your copy below and keep it close all season. Consider it your go-to for whatever’s ripening, or about to be.

Now that’s BombDiggity!
