Rubus Idaeus 'Polka'

Afternoon everyone. Is anyone able to explain the colourless patches on some of my raspberries please? Is it bad or maybe just sun bleached? #disease-remedy

Sorry don’t know ....maybe to do with the sun...🤷🏼‍♀️

Thank you for replying Elaine, I appreciate it. There's only been a handful affected but it would be good to know if they're still edible 🤔 @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom

Just cut it off and have a look 👀

It’s sun scalding, perfectly fine to eat...we don’t normally see it as commercial growers throw them out.

Thank you Sean. Sorry for the delay in replying @sventress

And so the raspberry harvesting starts 😍

We moved ours this year and they've not produced 😔. These look crackers! Is that a cuprinol painted bench? 🤔

Hi @craigh7. Sorry to hear your raspberries didn't grow this year. Maybe they were slightly traumatised. Hopefully next year they'll produce some for you! Yes, I used the cuprinol 'garden shades' range...stone, forget me not and seagrass, and then used a mix of the two latter colours for the inbetween shade. Really pleased with the results so then painted my potting shed, chiminea, picnic table, plant rack, chairs and table to match 😂

First buds appearing on the raspberry...😋

Mmm scrummy... my first raspberry!!

Well done ❤️

I need to get this in the ground and soon as it's looking quite tired in its original pot ☹. The fruits are tiny too so hoping that once its planted they will become a lot bigger!
