2026 - What I did today.

I got my replacement raspberry canes. I can't say I'm that impressed with them, they appear to have been out of the ground a very long time and I'm doubtful they'll pop, but the principle has been upheld! My battle won. The canes are in a bucket of water and I think I'll plant them in pots so I can nurture and keep an eye on them.  Harking back to that little polka dot plant I got sent by mistake, the price of that on Carbeth website is £8.99 with £4.99 p&p nigh on £14 for a slip. I'm in the wrong job.  PS baby polkadot is happy and thriving.

PS I had an email yesterday from Carbeth saying they only have a record of me ordering a polka dot plant. It beggars belief!

I'm in the process of preparing ground for the raspberries I'd put into pots earlier in the year.  Once the pots are free the new canes will be planted. After shopping today I shall have to spend time in the gh potting on toms and shuffling stuff around to avoid the cold. There's so many jobs that are shouting out to be done.
