Raspberry Canes Planted
Back in November 2007 I received some raspberry canes as a gift from my cousin and his wife as a thank you for letting them stay with us in the Summer when they were over from Australia.
We planted the canes and added some straw on top of the soil to help retain moisture, keep the weeds down and to warm the soil.
I am looking forward to lovely raspberries in the Summer, so thank you Derek, Suzie and Charlotte, a very thoughtful gift that will be much enjoyed. They are a welcome addition to our flood damaged veg garden.

Oh, I love raspberries. I keep thinking I’m going to find a place on my farm to plant some.

we were given quite a few raspberry cane a couple of years ago.
Our goats got out and ate every one of them!

I think I need a farm so I can grow things like raspberry canes - how fun!
I love your Christmas and New Year’s photos - very pretty.
Happy 2008!!

Such a great present. I love raspberries. Do you know if we’re too late to plant some for this coming Summer? I shall look into this right now as you’ve got me thinking.
Happy New Year!

Raspberries are well worth growing as they are so expensive in the shops.
You can beat raspberry gin made with your own raspberries. Raspberry wine is great too!
