Q.Raspberry Bush
My 2 yr old raspberry bush has produced raspberries but they are small, dark red and hard. Are they still unripe, overripe or do I need to wait til next year for edible fruit?

Raspberries need proper pruning and fertilizing to produce edible fruit. Canes are either summer bearing or everbearing and they are pruned accordingly. These articles tell you how and when to prune the canes for the best fruit.
