I have some raspberry vines(can't be absolutely certain it's a raspberry, it was here when I moved in- the berries turn red first and change to black when ripe, the taste is mildly tart) Anyway, this year I broke my leg so I couldn't do any gardening chores, the vines are just growing"au natural". We live in a very woodsy area, so the vines are getting little sun. Amazingly, they are doing better than ever, I can't figure it out. Last year I cleared the area around the vines and they got full sun and were watered well , but the berries were nowhere near as tasty or plentiful as this year! I thought raspberries liked sun?
