IMO rhubarb would do better on the north or east side. it doesn't
like the heat. I never had any luck with raspberries at all, but it
seems like they might be better suited.

Just wondering how you harvest it. Do you pull it or cut it?

Pull! I start to pull as soon as the plant is putting out stalks
bigger than a pencil. These have been producing for 15 yrs or so-
so even the first spring stalks are plenty big.

I pull seed stalks, too- and discard them.

Probably not the best practice-- but I trim the leaves on the spot and
mulch with them. Every 4-5 yrs I might remember to feed them. They
get covered with 5-6' of hard packed snow through the winter as they
are to the side of the turn-around that gets all the snow blown to it.
