    Another year and another go at getting to grow properly! I've learned a fair bit of mistakes but trying to make a better gp of it this year

    Made dedicated raspberry beds, the first 2 photos are autumn bliss. They seem to be doing well but obviously some aren't going to do, teeny buds. Best to pull up?

    The last pic of raspberries is the tullameen. Very disappointing, the 3 little buds have all been planted the same as autumn bliss, about mod February or so! Those 3 little buds seem to show no signs of growth. I know these fruit on previous years but I expected a much more vigorous plant, especially since these ones are pampered compared to others I planted in bad spots years ago!

    Do I pull them all up and stop wasting time? Is it too late to get more in? The place I got them, some of the roots were pretty bad and in those deep pots seemingly left from last year. I think I'll go proper bare root this time. Also any feeds folks recommend for raspberries now? They got chicken pellets and bone meal a month ago

    Strawberries are elsanta, got em from the fruit and veg guy that does our town market. I've seen flowers. Don't I nip these off yeh? Better to let them put on growth?

    Then there are currants. These always look weird to me as they fruit on the grey dead looking twigs. They came pruned like this already. There's shoots so I'm guessing just let them settle in some more?

    Thanks for any advice and help in advance!

    Looks good - my general suggestion would be to wait for the plants to get established and do their thing - maybe try to curb the impulses to keep adding feed or nip bits off or pull plants up...:)
