too late for raspberry canes
« on: March 31, 2013, 18:38 »
I have made loads of progress on the allotment this week so now have room for raspberry canes.

Is it too late to plant canes now?

Thinking of planting them towards the north of the plot so that they dont shadow other crops?

Get them in and don't forget a handful of bonemeal in the planting hole.

Neither the summer ones or autumn ones are showing much sign of growth, so it will still be fine to plant them now.

A good mulch as well as the bonemeal will help them get off to a flying start

PS Summer fruiting raspberries often benefit from a framework to support them
