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?

I’m in 4b. What fruits are you considering? I am of the same opinion on lawns, except for maybe a small patch in the front yard in front of the house. I’ve got loads of room for fruits and veggies though.

So far I have raspberries, a cherry tree, and a peach tree. I also have a blueberry bush in a container.
