    I have Autumn fruiting raspberries so when should I be able to start picking them and should they be starting to get red yet as mine are still green.

    Hi @Paul Blackburn as the name suggests as they are Autumn Raspberries so won't be turning red just yet as we are just into the summer months so please be patient and they will ripen usually just when the summer fruiting ones have finally finished although having said that depending where you live in the country,say for example,Cornwall or Somerset they will ripen earlier due to the warmer climate due to the Jet Stream effect :smile:

      They'll be ready about 5 minutes before Mr Blackbird has them away :spinning:
