Eat your own raspberries all year round!
Grow a bumper crop every year and freeze the surplus for winter!
These raspberries are amazing!
Let’s connect - I will:
- show you my two domestic raspberry patches
- explain how to grow them effectively
- sell (or exchange with) you enough plants to get you started (for half what you’ll pay in the shops)
- explain how to avoid root spread
- give you a 2-page handout with instructions
Planting then now/soon will give them an awesome head start on next season (don’t wait for spring!)
These are fantastic fruiters (red raspberries - Heritage, Cluther & Lewis)
Bartering?
Can’t afford to buy? I’m open to swapping plants for other produce including relish, jam, whatever you make.
Send me a message and we'll swap phone numbers.
PS I also have some exceptional thornless blackberries.

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.9% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
