He wanted just one row of canes so he gave us the spare ones. We decided to plant a row of canes at the back of the veg plot.

That way the top portion of the veg plot will be filled all year round. We don&#8217;t need so much space as we will have produce from the allotment as well as the garden.<\/p>\n<p>We have never grown raspberry canes before so this will be an experiment. It would be great to have some fruit from the garden.
