Probably not the first year. Then they will have runners and more than double your plant numbers. So yes, the second year. The first year you'll probably just get enough to pick and eat right in the garden. Enjoy!!!

We have three 50' rows that are 3 1/2' wide. The third row was just planted last fall so it won't give us many berries, but the other two will. And the first row will be tilled under this fall for a three year rotation. We will plant another new row every fall. Actually, this fall we will plant two new rows so we will have four rows.

Last year we had enough berries for us to eat fresh and we sold about 5 qts. at market two times. This year I would like to make some freezer jam. I may have frozen a few whole berries last year as well. But we have 6 people eating them!
