I’ve spent the past two days sorting out the raspberry patch, which has needed doing for some time. I dug up all the plants then forked over the area and added plenty of compost before replanting fourteen in a double row. There are already signs of new growth on some of them which is good to see, and I’ve also kept some spares in a large container just in case any don’t grow.
I hope doing this will rejuvenate them and I’ll get a decent crop of raspberries this year, like these back in June 2017.
If I don’t then I’ll replace them in the autumn.
It rained last night, and it’s damp and dull this morning so I won’t going to the plot for the first time in nearly two weeks.
Have a good weekend, and take care!

Looking good – raspberry bed taming is on my list this weekend.

Hi Mr F,
It took some finding where/how I could reply to you with the new app WP have introduced. I seem to have gone back to move forward!
Your raspberries are keeping you busy in thought and deed. I do hope you’ll get the growth you hope for. Two full weeks plotting at this time of year, is very good.
Happy weekend to you. Xx
