We live in southern Minnesota and want put some raspberry bushes in the backyard, being new to gardening should we wait until next spring or could they establish themselves well enough during the hot summer months to survive the winter without expert attention?

If you even thought about raspberry bushes, they’ve probably already taken over your yard, and are coming for your house. And they can’t be stopped.

I already planted mint right in the ground like a maniac. Maybe raspberries are next?

May as well go for the trifecta and throw in some bamboo, or kudzu.

Get some Himalayan blackberry and English ivy in there too, to really fuck things up.
