Isn't it lovely when you buy a raspberry cane at a venture and it turns
out to have delicious, firm and big fruits?

And isn't it a bonus when a veritable forest of new canes sprout round
it?

There are some thugs I can tolerate innit!


The problem is the veritable forest that each of the veritable forests
goes on to create. I've been pondering the raspberry patch this afternoon
wondering what to do with hundreds more unwanted raspberries coming up,
they are invading the gooseberries and *everywhere* else.

Do you know if it is safe to glyphosate them or will it kill the parent
plants seeing as they are runners and connected? Or is it down to spade
work and digging them all out by hand?

It is such a pity that you do not live close to Windsor, otherwise I could
have taken some off your hands!
