3-Month Update on Blackberries & Raspberries

About 3 months ago, I planted eight-inch twigs that looked 100% dead. Today, the main canes are 10 ft. tall and there's actually fruit on both the blackberries and raspberries.

The raspberries are on the left; the blackberries are on the right. Here's more info about what variety I planted and how I chose them for my zone 9B.

I really think I need more bees. I have purslane growing around the bases (not intentionally) which should attract bees. I have still noticed some flowers going unpollinated or partially pollinated. Yet another thing I need to research and fix.
