Katie,
I think you only need ten posts (I maybe wrong) to pm so jump in. I'll keep you a few buckets. I would leave them for a while to settle before transplanting again but they won't hurt in the black florist buckets.

BQ, have you tried local schools if they're having a summer fete,or church etc they could sell some to raise funds.

I have raspberry runners appearing a good 3 foot into my potato beds and onion beds, when we got the plot there were a few escapees from the plot next door, now we have a 20 foot by 5 foot bed with a few outriders, unfortunately this was where I also planted strawberries the first year, so weeding and de-strawberrying is proceeding. some raspberries will be relocated to my other half plot.

nope, but we do love raspberries. today I dug some of the raspberries out from the pea beds, when I got home they were dumped into some compost in pots, probably a dozen plants - we will see how they get on, any that survive will go up the other plot.

All raspberry runners now rehomed. I'll start digging out the next runners.
No stopping them once they take hold.

Katie picked up the last bucket this morning.  :D
