Gardening 101: May Gardening Tips - Fruits and Nuts
May Tips: FRUIT AND NUTS
Protect developing strawberries from birds with a
spun-bonded row cover or plastic netting.
Technically, berries are fruits that are soft
throughout, such as blueberries. Thus the raspberry is
not a true berry, but a fruit is made of many small
sections each with a seed or pit. Fruits with fleshy
material surrounding a hard seed are called drupes. So
a raspberry is not a berry, but is a cluster of small
drupes or drupelets.
Thin peaches to 4 to 6 inches apart for large,
high-quality fruit.
