Time to plant the raspberries.
This year Luke ordered some Autumn fruiting raspberry canes (Polka) and out of the twelve he planted only one survived. Having complained to the supplier they kindly offered us some more in November and they arrived on Luke's birthday. I needed to get them planted as soon as possible in order to give them the best chance of survival. I dug over the spare bit of ground that I'd used for the roses but it was very wet and dense so and after digging in some soil improver and sharp sand for improved drainage I planted the canes, fanning out their roots and giving them a good watering afterwards.
