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 know you are not supposed to tread on wet ground.

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.

This where a good old scaffold board comes in handy.

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

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.
