planting raspberry canes now?
« on: February 15, 2013, 11:58 »
And one more questions. Thank you for the advice, I really appreciate it! :)

I would like to grow some summer fruiting raspberries. We already have some very productive autumn fruiting ones, which produced loads and loads or raspberries from August all the way to November last year. But with a new house and garden (and baby) we didn't get around to planting any summer fruiting ones in autumn. Can I plant them now? Or when it's a bit warmer? Or should I wait until autumn again, especially as they're floricane and won't produce any berries this year anyway?

Thanks  :)

Now is an ideal time to plant them. If you wait until autumn you'll have another year to wait for fruit.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Don't forget to add a handful of bonemeal to each planting hole.
