Get them in as soon as you can, is best advice.

If you have to store them more than a day or 2 give them a good soak, to stop them drying out - but don't store them in a bucketful of water.

Is it just this year, but mine on the allotment I inherited  have come out far too late and keep getting mildew? Thinking of moving them somewhere more sheltered.

Is the mildew on the leaves? if so it means they were too dry at the roots.

Or is it the fruit that is mouldy? Wet with rain and warm leads to this ... and not picked in time of course  ;)

I would think that putting them somewhere more sheltered would encourage more mould. THis year I found that I had a two day window to pick the ripened fruit otherwise it started to get mouldy. It meant I was picking almost every day and I ended up with far more rasps than I could possibly use...not a bad complaint to have.

Why not freeze them? That is what i do.

When we moved here 3 years ago we had raspberries growing were we wont the greenhouse to go so we dug them up and put them in a bucket full of soil cut them down to a reasonable size and then left them until we were ready to plant them out which was some time, since then they have produced lovely raspberries. I think you'll find they are very tough and don't mind being moved about, good luck.  :)

It depends on whether they are Autumn or Summer fruiting varieties  :unsure:

Hmm..thanks for advice internet people;  mildewed fruit- problem is I can't get down every day or even two days in the autumn dark evenings by then the fruit has gone over, but loads not ripe even now... back (clay) garden would be ok for them I think, more sheltered (earlier ripening?) and easier to harvest regularly.
