Thanks for the replies. I guess I'll see what happens next year.

I really don't want to replace my black raspberries, because the birds 
planted them, and I doubt that I can convince them to plant another seed 
of such quality. :-)

Seriously, these raspberries, which started from a single volunteer 
plant growing beside my garage, have been great. No trouble (with 
disease or pests, I mean), and delicious! Last year, a couple of the 
newer plants (I've been extending the rows a bit) had raspberries that 
were bigger, but very bland in comparison. Well, I guess the birds are 
still planting seeds occasionally. I dug them out, because the other, 
smaller berries were so much better.

So I'll wait and see what happens. Thanks again.
