- Some follow up and a small project in today's video
Lally Luck Farm is a small scale permaculture/regenerative source nursery in Southern Maine. We're transitioning much of our lawn to row gardening and food forests, and converting the degraded woodlot on our property into a healthy and functional food forest in the forest. Come along as we document the steps to grow a source nursery from seed and our journey from overcrowded pine forest and lawn to edible perennials. We'll cover a broad range of topics from design considerations and processes to planting theory to plant management, so get ready to get into the weeds with us. We hope you'll join us in learning from our successes and failures.

What a good (if warm) day for a lally luck farms video
I think any day I can edit and upload before getting sidetracked again is a good day for a video 😂
Expect the leaves to mostly die back on these transplants but there should still be energy in the root system which, worst case scenario, will push up new growth from the base. So even if these appear to fail, don't give up on them. This is my experience with these, that they are very fragile plants but resilient (a strange combination). They also are very easily damaged by strong wind/storms. They really need a windbreak. When they get fully established in a thicket and are chest high I'm sure they can take more abuse but when they are that small it doesn't take much for the leaves to snap off. This is part of the challenge of trying to grow them. They are really adapted for sheltered spots in the forest surrounded by trees and shrubs where they aren't going to get buffeted by the elements. They simply don't have a rugged weed-like growth pattern the way other brambles (like wild black raspberry) do. But because of the large magenta flowers I think they are worth trying. They are the only berries I know of that have such good ornamental value. The videos and photos don't do the flowers justice.
Thanks for weighing in, I really appreciate the feedback! They really are pretty fragile at that size, far softer than other brambles I've worked with. The three planted at our neighbor's spot have taken the transplant well and are pushing new growth already, and I think their windbreak layout has helped them establish.

This is so true! The research I did on them after being gifted ours totally didn't prepare me for how stunning they are
Love those berries. Out west there's a different species (rubus parviflorus) that are known as "thimbleberries". The only visible difference seems to be the flower. A ripe one tastes like raspberry jam. They're incredible.
That. Sounds. Amazing!
And a quick search on maine.gov brought up this document from NEWFS:
www.maine.gov/dacf/php/horticulture/documents/InvasiveAlternativesNEWFSCullina.pdf
Showing that it's a recommended species for use instead of listed invasives in Rubus......
@@lallyluckfarm Are these purple flowering raspberries you have cultivars or native plants?
@simongooder664 the person who gave me the mother plant did not give any cultivar information, so I believe that these are natives with "wild" genetics
@@simongooder664 I don't think there is such a thing as a "cultivated" variety of purple flowering raspberry. They're all essentially captured wild plants even if you can find anyone selling them.
Well, at least until I start propagating from seed and keeping track of who's whom 😁
