Well the 36 new raspberry canes arrived yesterday and today, here in the Chilterns, it has been wet and was cold and raining today but I still planted them.

I think you have done the right thing by getting them in, Stephen...it's not as if you have been walking all over the plot.
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

Yes, they do have to go in. The weather might be worse when I am there on Monday (he said cheerfully!) :lol:

Well the ground looks like a quagmire Stephen but raspberry roots In my experience Stephen are pretty hardy and with all that manure I'm sure when a dryer period comes they'll be off to a good start.
