Hello (and happy holidays):
I have an awesome set of raspberry bushes on my property in Prince George,
British Columbia. The provided a haul of nearly 40 litres last summer.
These days, I have plenty of leftover seeds from the berries when I puree
them for recipes such as sorbet and then strain the juice to remove the
seeds.
I'm wondering: can I plant the seeds removed from raspberries for producing
new vines? Any recommendations on how to do so in terms of soil, plant food,
etc?
Thanks...

I imagine so, but it seems like it would be faster to dig up and transplant
the new plants that keep coming up from the spreading root system. That it
what I do with blackberries and get a wonderful crop.

You *cultivate* blackberries? <boggle> You *want* them in your yard?

Deep dish apple and blackberry pie like my granny used to make... yum!
There's not many better things in this world. :-)

You are probably thinking of the non-native Himalayan black
berry.
