Oh! Raspberries are wonderful though... but yeah... once you plant them, you're committed, like it or not! Kind of like with morning glories, or those purple heart plants. When it's ready to eat, I'm sure that will be the best raspberry ever! <3 XD
You know there are plenty of other things you can do outside without going gangbusters on the holly or anything else you're allergic to, riiiiight? We had holly bushes around the front of our house several years ago but pulled them out because they had some kind of fungus or something that nobody could identify, we didn't have the patience to deal with (more than we did), and was making the whole thing look scruffy.
I weed whacked about half the garden and dumped the bins with my sweet potatoes. I have a sink full of potatoes right now, but surprisingly, not as many as I was expecting. Weird.
