:( Have tried it many times but have never managed to get it past the second winter....!!! :confused: :D

I am glad you got one Celia. I am pleased with mine. Did you say that you saw a number of different colours. If so I must keep an eye out.

Hi Dixy, sorry to hear that your Grandson is leaving you! Do you see much of him? Cheap flights back and forth from N Ireland to Scotland these days.Anyhow, what about posting a pic on the GC website and I would bet that some of the experts here would be able to advise you further. Or cut a...

I agree with DW but this some times occur at the end of crop cycle

Thanks Fancy- we shall see! I've just come back inside as the rain is too hard to finish preparing the bed- I was trying to be good, I've put some manure on and was trowelling it in ready to plant...

Thanks for that RHS link Mike. Interesting stuff!

I have 4 rows of rasps with about 20 canes a row and we picked around 56pounds of fruit : which is slightly better than last year which was better than any prior year. Most of our canes are now over 9 years old and starting to die out so I dig out the dead or failing ones, dig in fresh compost...
