The woman who has best raspberry patch on allotment has cut all hers down. Not sure which variety that means she has. One that fruits on new wood clearly. Hope mine aren't that sort as have tied the old wood onto string (should be wire but I didn't have any). Luckily there are also lots of little plantlets which might do the job in case I've done the wrong thing.
The potatoes are starting to poke through. Lots of shoots of rocket (fair enough, as the name suggests, it's supposed to be early) and lots of Maris piper (odd, as supposed to be more of a main crop). Only one of pentland javelin (another early) and nothing showing for Charlotte (perhaps it was one of the Aldi varieties that was less chitted). Being planted in compacted soil might not have harmed the Maris as long as it can bury its roots and create potatoes.
Noticed that the grower of last year's cauliflowers has mulched his strawberries which were magnificent last year.
