PYO Raspberries

We got given some raspberry canes in autumn last year.  We had been wanting to grow raspberries for a while, but at $15 per plant it was going to be expensive to get enough.  Anyway, I didn't expect to get any raspberries until next summer as they only fruit on the new canes which grew the year before.  So I have been surprised that this autumn some of the canes have been fruiting!  Only a couple so it means only 6 or so raspberries are ripe at any one time, but it is nice to be able to go out and munch on a few, when fresh raspberries are no longer available at the markets.
