This is def. the latest I've been able to pick Autumn fruiting rasperries
in the last 18 years. My previous latest was mid/latish Nov. New flowers
still being produced too.

While I've got used to hardly any frosts until Dec/Jan over the last few
years, this year seems to have been exceptionally mild. Fresh raspberries
from the garden, 7 months out of 12!

We saw blackberries flowering while out walking last week !
