A friend gave me three raspberry bushes that she pulled out of her community garden spot. \u00c2\u00a0I put them to the left side of the yard near the fence, in hopes they get big and bushy and give us some visual privacy from the neighbors until we install a fence on that side. \u00c2\u00a0The last neighbors on that side had three boys and the oldest was a girl and they were far quieter and less obtrusive than the new ones who have two young girls and a newborn. \u00c2\u00a0The incessant shrieking of the two\u00c2\u00a0girls can be quite annoying, but it’s the need for attention that gets me. \u00c2\u00a0I just want to work in my garden uninterrupted, but like most children they want to know what I’m doing, what is my name, what do I do, etc. \u00c2\u00a0They aren’t bad or obnoxious, but I just want to be left alone by everyone. \u00c2\u00a0Hopefully the bushes will fill out like my friend indicates so that I’ll have some visual privacy from the spot where the girls tend to come and watch me garden the most.<\/p>\n

According to my friend, I should get what I’m looking for!<\/p>\n

“Its a hybrid which produces well, smaller than commercial but also bug resistant. ” and\u00c2\u00a0“Once they’re established, they do try to take over. Having them in a spot where they’re easy to cut back might be a good idea. Pretty hardy, they do okay in full sun or shade, but personally think they do put on better fruit with partial shade. They do tend to shade out everything else, and can get quite tall.”<\/p>\n

My three raspberry bushes, Cybercontroler, K-9 and Dalek Caan (rose bushes are named after the Doctor’s companions, so I figure this is a fitting naming scheme):<\/p>\n
