Hello Charles and all
I planted some raspberry bushes in a half shady spot in my garden last year that were previously growing in pots and am now, as my mother put it at the time, living to regret it! I planted them about 16-18 ins apart and for one reason or another have lost a lot of gardening time this year and they are now everywhere. I realise they need thinning but which do I take out? The original plants I put in are now about 7ft tall and I know I should have cut these back but circumstances prevented this. Most if not all are autumn raspberries. Some shoots are coming off the original plants but there are dozens of plants as close as a few inches apart. I am playing catch up with so many things but the raspberries need some attention. Any advice gratefully received.
Kind regards
Eliza
