Hi Minniepal,

just to say that this wasnt a great year round my area for raspberries. I found that there wasnt nearly as much fruit on my bushes as say on the blueberry or indeed the apple trees. I also heard others saying the same. That could be why there isnt much fruit on yours. As has been said they do need space and will spread, also if you have a small area they are not the most attractive fruit bush!!!

The fushias are easy to root I stuck clippings in stony clay and got lots of fushia bushes. Marigolds are annuals so make the best of them this year though there should be no problem potting up.
