Home Gardening Writer & Berry Growing Enthusiast

I've spent the last fifteen years experimenting with berry cultivation across three different climate zones—starting with a failed attempt to grow raspberries in clay soil, then moving through better learning. Now I split time between maintaining my own half-acre mixed berry patch and helping neighbors troubleshoot their growing challenges. I'm genuinely fascinated by why certain berries thrive in specific regions and how to adapt techniques when conditions aren't ideal. When I'm not tending plants, I'm usually photographing berries at various growth stages or recipe-testing jams and preserves.
