Anyone in the north have any advice on raspberry varieties? We are near Boston, on the border between zones 5 and 6. We have had bad luck with K81-6, a delicious summer bearer advertised as cold hardy. Not. We also have a row of Lauren, which is hardier, but not great. Prelude does wonderfully here, but the berries are only so-so. (We also grow two fall bearers, Caroline and Polana.) We are looking for a winter-hardy main-crop summer bearer to replace the K81-6. Of course, we are looking for excellent flavor, large coherent berries, and plants that are easy to tend. What do you all grow? (and, to whoever mentioned it, thanks for the tip on cardboard as mulch!)
