Yummy, mine are all starting to fatten up but they are still green. Loads of them though. Hope yours tasted as good as they look

They were lovely. I had them with mango sorbet for dessert yesterday.

Oooh, we've had a good few handfuls of raspberries so far, all delicious!!!

Seriously, they cost about £10, and we've had them for about 3 years, and in that time we've even had raspberries in November!!! They're such good value for money, (considering how much raspberries are in Sainsburys) and si easy to look after. I didn't even dig a raspberry trench or anything!!!

Our raspberries were free. A friend was thinning out his canes and gave us a dozen. Every year we have had heavy crops and many are frozen. We bought the black, red and white currants, the gooseberries and the strawberries, but when you work out the return it is hummungus.
