If you don’t want to miss those June raspberries, you might set aside one part of Heritage patch for traditional pruning. Or you might grow one of the June bearing varieties such as Latham.
October was the time to prepare your soil to plant raspberries next spring. They prefer a pH of 5.8 to 6.5 and a deep sandy-loam soil. Converting part of your garden to raspberries could be ideal, but avoid areas where tomatoes, eggplants, or potatoes have grown. These crops often carry verticillium wilt which lives in the soil for many year and is very damaging to raspberries.
