I've traded in my old plot for a larger one at the same site, so it's
planning time. I'm thinking of putting out some raspberries (and
possibly blackberries, though they're common enough round here that I
may not bother) and since it's nearly the time of year where I'd be
cutting back an established plant I wonder when I should be planting out
new ones. Any suggestions?


I would recommend thornless blackberries. A friend gave us some a couple of
years ago, and now they're pretty much established I'm taking out the 'wild'
type that were on the allotment from day one. The fruits on the thornless
are a much better shape and size, and I don't get sliced to ribbons picking
them.
