How to fertilize Thimbleberry
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Thimbleberry after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Random mushrooms Can anyone tell me what these bright yellow mushrooms are? I got the plant shipped to me from a native Australian food company and we do not have mushrooms like this locally growing #helpneeded #mushrooms #raspberry

My raspberry keeps dying and idk why I purchased new plants online, and both are struggling. They both get full sun, both repotted in FoxFarm Ocean potting mix. Do these guys not do well in containers? Do I need to add extra horticultural charcoal to the soil? #GoldenEvergreenRaspberry
