Dear All

I absolutely love raspberries so I'm now growing my own and have a
good
harvest. But with the fruit comes some little tiny 'nasties' like
minature
caterpillars. Does anyone know what they are? How do I prevent
them from
being there? And how do I get them off the fruit? They're putting
me off
:-(

'Might be sawfly larvae.
Had you spotted them earlier, then a spray with insecticide would have
been in order.
But now, at picking time its a bit late for that.
And washing the fruit is going to reduce the flavour.
Dunno! Not much help. Sorry.
