*Welcome Blake Cothron, author of "The Berry Grower"

I just moved to my property a year ago and I'll be buying berry plants next week from a local farmer!

I am in SE Oklahoma hill area, and heading to setup some berry patches. I have a lot of questions as to the beds and orientation to hillsides and water drainage. I hope research now will be better than fixing or wishing I had started out differently. Hope to see what your book has to say.
Thanks
John

Hi Blake, and welcome!
We grow lots of beautiful raspberries here in Provo, Utah. Our plants come from plants our father had in Springville, Utah, and they've been shared with many families in the area. It's fun to remember the heritage of our berry plants and acknowledge those who have made them possible for us and others. Hope to read your book. Does it have any info on growing huckleberries? We grew up in McCall, Idaho, and I'd love to grow huckleberries here, but I'm guessing we'll probably need to stick with the raspberries. Cheers.

We have some berry awesome winners!

Congratulations!

Hello I would be very interested in reading your berry book. Berries are amazing. I live on the island of Crete in Greece. Though I am not sure that they would thrive here. I would like to know if your book would give me the information of which berries would grow well in this part of the world. Thank you

Congratulations to the winners: Diane, Emily, Dave, and Alicia!

This was a fun week and I learned a lot about growing berries.
