Was on the plot this afternoon and noticed that my Tulameen are starting to produce shoots.
I want to move one of these suckers to a gap in the line where one of the plants failed to survive and there's one sucker that's a fair distance from the parent plant.
The question is, when to do this? Do it now while the sucker is still small or wait 'til it's bigger?
When I do it I'll try to move a chunk of soil and roots with it.

You can do it now - cut through the root with your spade, make sure you leave the new bit with as much root as you can ;)

Ta. Will do.
Mind you, it's bloomin freezing out there!

Put plenty of new compost around the roots. They don't get on well when they're planted where old rasberries have been

And a handful of bonemeal in the planting hole.
