Pretty soon it will be time to clean up what Old Man Winter left behind. I have raspberries and, come every spring, winter has left me broken branches, I'm sure the birds also help in the process. Don't throw them away, they make GREAT marking sticks to mark off where you've planted your other plants. Break them off about 6-7 inches, stick enough in the ground where you've planted some thing and you should have enough to put the package of what you planted over the top of stick. Cut the bottom off the package, don't want to look at it upside down.
