As soon as your ground is workable, get them in now if you can, that way they will get established as early as possible!

As long as the ground isn't frozen get them in as soon as possible.

OK - I know what I will be doing tomorrow.

I know to add loads of manure and take time to get the area weed free and dug over , but should I cut the plants or just leave them

Not got any fruit (bar toms!) and was thinking about rasps, so....

What is there to know (Ladybird book-wise) about raspberries please? What varieties, where to plant and when do they fruit?
