Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

We have some of the raspberries in a border, that were planted when we
first
built our home, since then have been planting new plants into raised
beds.  I
space the plants about 18" apart in two rows. Last year we transplanted
Autumn Gold into one raised bed from another.  I like growing Latham and

Boyne raspberries.  Also want to try some black raspberries.  Tried
strawberries at our other home, in raised beds, and they did not do real

well.  We have so many "pick your own" strawberry farms here that I have

decided not to take up space.  Our rhubarb is in one bed, spaced 3"
apart in
the center of the bed.  I have Valentine and Canada Red.  Matter of
fact, we
did some garden rearranging and moved the rhubarb the previous fall and
had
more than we could handle out of the two plants this summer.  I got the
raspberries and rhubarb from Jungs which is the only place I will buy my
bare
root stuff.  Deany  .
