I have bought some goji berries from stark borthers and they looked really brown at first. Then, they started growing so fast. Any recommendations for edible fruits that are basically carefree besides raspberries and blackberries

What is the soil, weather, and pest situation where you live?

That's great.I tried growing some and flea beetles ate all the leaves off as soon as they appeared.I may try them again and I'll be prepared for the flea beetles,maybe I'll cover them with the spun fiber cloth.

ive got clay soil, and I live in nj. The most damaging pest I have is chickens, which I try to grow stuff that I like and they don't

I want to grow everything organically, because I am so sick and tired of spraying my apples with fungicides

Gardens Alive has organic solutions for fungicides.Its so humid here that unless you spray tomatoes they get the blight.I got a spray from them,works good.
