Philly Orchardists,
As berry season continues, thought I'd share this guide put together by one of our plant suppliers, Nourse Farms.  See forwarded message below with info about some of the common growing challenges for brambles (raspberries and blackberries), strawberries, blueberries, asparagus, elderberries, and ribes (currants and gooseberries).  Also includes info on perennial vegetables: asparagus, rhubarb, and horseradish! 

POP is also working on a bramble berry growing guide that we hope to complete by the end of the year, so stay tuned.
