We’ve had a good summer of fruit from the raspberry canes but now they’re seven feet tall and starting to take over the patio. Unfortunately it’s still too early to cut them down.

Yum yum. The first raspberries are ready for eating. Perfect timing, really, as the strawberries have now all been picked and eaten.
Raspberries take up considerable space when they get growing, as last year’s canes are starting to prove now that they’ve begun growing new foliage for this season.
The raspberry canes have finally arrived. And not a moment too soon, either. They were scheduled to turn up somewhere in the ludicrously wide window of ‘November to March’, and with March quickly running out I was having doubts that’s ever be delivered.
Autumn is well and truly over, and it’s time to start tidying up the fruit beds. Most specifically, the currant bushes.
