A little bit of bother with the raspberries !

We have had a little bit of bother with our raspberries !

Some of the canes we brought to the allotment came from our garden and some had been given to us, so we have no idea how old they were. They gave a really good crop earlier in the Summer, but then showed signs of virus. We decided to 'bite the bullet' and cleared them all along with most of the soil around them.

I have been refilling the trench with compost, manure and soil taken from the other end of the patch and will replant with new canes of the variety Tulameen from D T Browns.
