Year Round Berry Growing Tips from the Master Berry Gardner…

Hey guys and gals! My name is Jerry Randall, better known as Berry Jerry. Momma started calling me that when I was 'bout knee high to a grasshopper because I loved all kinds of berries and my favorite pastime was piddling in the berry garden.

On this website you're gonna find some excellent tips on how to grow scrumptious berries of all kinds -- from raspberries to huckleberries, strawberries to blackberries, gooseberries to blueberries, I raise them all! Even cranberries. After all, variety truly is the spice of life!

Why I started this website…

Ever since I was a little fella I chose berry gardening over anything else, even over climbing trees and catchin' frogs. I've been growing berries most of my life, and folks, that's a long time cuz I'm just a little bit younger than dirt (according to my wife).

All my friends and family are amazed at the fact that I've got delicious berries to munch on all year round. You see, most folks think berry growing is a seasonal thing, but once you learn the tricks of the trade, you can grow berries all year round no matter where in the world you live! (...even in a tiny little apartment in the middle of New York City!)

I'm not much of a computer guy but everyone I know keeps telling me I ought to get on the Internet and share all my berry growing secrets so everyone everywhere can grow berries all year long. The only thing I like more than growing berries is talking about growing berries, so I took them up on that suggestion!
