    It’s all fun and games until you get raspberries popping up all over your yard. These fuckers have managed to travel over 10 feet to different garden plots somehow.

      the somehow is bird poop. birds eat them and poop out the seeds, allowing them to be spread anywhere the bird goes. if you have some birds that frequent your garden you can blame them. also enjoy the raspberries :3

      Im eventually going to carve out a spot for raspberries. I imagine you have to weed the area often so it doesnt spread where you dont want it to.

        When it grows in lawn or other movable areas you can just mow it down. But if it gets to other plots, yeah you gotta pull em.

        It’s kinda like mint? By not nearly as prevalent.

      Yep. I mow them off to keep them confined to certain areas. But they spread worse than thistles.
