Rescued raspberry canes
Rubus idaeus (variety and fruiting type tbc)
Previously grown in a pot. One cane produced a little fruit this year; the main aim was to get the plant growing well again. It now has four good new canes for next year.
Kirsty made a support frame from old posts and garden wire along the side of the veg bed, which was dug and planted in October 2026.
