6 Edibl Landscaping Plant a Fin Vin Nothing says hom in th tri-vally lik th sight of vinyard blanktd hills. Plump, luscious, swt graps, blackbrry and raspbrry vins ar surprisingly asy to grow in your yard and vry rwarding. So how can w incorporat thm into our hom landscap and put thm to work as a fatur, ovr and abov thir dlicious crop? Som dsign thoughts: WALLS Growing graps and brris on a systm of posts and wirs lnds itslf naturally to crating an dg, a living fnc, in a spot whr you nd to dfin your proprty bordr or lightly scrn a viw. Or us a chain link fnc for support. OVERHEAD Fantastically trainabl whn young, spiral th pliabl grap vins around a column or post to crat an intrsting pattrn, thn lt th canopy of th grap vin covr a prgola, arbor or othr ovrhad structur. FOCAL POINT Had prun graps to form thm into a small tr, similar in form to a wping chrry. As th trunk maturs and bcoms woody, it will bcom frstanding without th nd of a stak. Grow brris on a trllis or bttr yt a sturdy 3D structur lik a con, big tomato cag or an oblisk. Evn tps mad from bamboo pols ar functional and attractiv. Gnrally not fussy, grow in full sun (aftrnoon shad on th raspbrris) in wll prpard gardn soil. Dp, rgular watring, frtilizing and yarly trimming will start you on th road to succss. Choos from our brimming slction of dormant varitis bginning in Dcmbr. Combin arlir and latr ripning varitis for a longr sason. A fw highlights of our collction: Blackbrris: Black Butt ar larg and ripn arly; Olallibrry ar classic; Tripl Crown and Black Satin ar thornlss, productiv Raspbrris: Baba Rd ar larg, lik warm wathr; Canby is thornlss; also blovd ar vrbaring Hritag and Fall Gold Grn Tabl Graps: Prrtt and Princss ar dlicat, improvd Thompson Sdlss-lik.
