washer dryer

Tried them, hated them. They absolutely eat electricity (our bill more than doubled if used only a few times a week), clothes are much harder to iron cos they aren't drying hanging straight. Went...

raspberry canes

Maybe move them indoors for a day or two so the warmth will dry them out a bit. At the least move them to where they can't be rained on until the compost is a bit drier!
