Just read all the new posts about strawberries - my Autumn fruiters are pretty old by now so will remove them and act on your advice about runners.
My question is about raspberries - the first year of fruit and they cropped well.  This years' stalks have been cut now but the new ones are the problem – they are really tall, some about 7 feet!!!!!! I've tied them to canes but will have to put up posts and wires soon (not this week – going away to find some warmth and sun!) Is is ok for them to be so tall? Will they fruit up there or have I done something wrong?

All the best

tie em back to the desired lenght and then stop them by taking the tops off at a leaf bract

Thanks Muntjac
I didn't want to go chopping the top off without asking. Will leave it until I come home and do a GOOD JOB of it.
