Raspberries; first fig & feijoas

A few days ago I headed out and gave the raspberries a first trim – I removed any canes that were growing outside the drums. Today I made it back out and tied the canes up off the ground. The next step is to cut off the old canes, leaving the new growth that will fruit next summer. But many of the canes are fruiting now!!! So I’m going to wait a bit longer before pruning.

I also picked the first of the figs – there are so many this year and many of them are huge! The feijoas are also huge. It must have been the wet summer.
