Blackberries and Raspberries in Home Gardens
Blackberries and raspberries (brambles) are a commonly planted small fruit in home gardens. They have vigorous growth, are seldom injured by spring frost and consistently produce high-quality fruit. Because of their vigorous growth, brambles should be planted in an area where they can be contained. A reduction in the availability of wild berries make these fruits even more popular in home plantings. By choosing different types of brambles, you can harvest fresh fruit five to six months each year. Written by Wade J. Sperry of The Agricultural Extension Service of The University of Tennessee -

Budding Citrus Trees
Citrus budding is a plant propagation technique that any gardener can do. While it does require some skill, with a moderate amount of practice a gardener can become proficient. Once the technique is learned, gardeners can add citrus varieties of their choice to their present citrus trees. The use of budding will lead to a producing tree sooner than if a seed were planted. Also a budded tree or branch will be genetically identical to its parent. Prepared by the University of Arizona - College of Agriculture
