Raspberry Hedge

No thoughts at all (no change there, then). My raspberries are carp this year, thistles or no. Aphids have been dreadful and drought hasn't helped.

Mine are terrible too, some of the plants barely a couple of feet tall. It's getting on 8 years since they were first planted so I was just assuming they were getting to the end of their productive lifespan, but you mentioning a rubbish raspberry year is making me think twice.
