No, not a new sort of ice-cream.

Earlier this year, in an effort to regain some control over the
very seriously overgrown veggie patch in our new house, we trimmed
all of the raspberry canes down to about a foot high.

Various people threw up their hands in horror, saying that if they were
a summer fruiting variety, we wouldn't get any raspberries this year.
Now it's summer however, we *do* have fruit. I recall too how at our
previous house we were delivered a number of bare-root raspberry canes
trimmed to a similar height late one winter and planted them out, getting
fruit in the summer of that year.

Why's that then? Is this summer fruit on old wood/autumn fruit on new
wood thing all a bit of a generalisation?
