Quagmire!

I took a look at my new raspberry tree this morning and as I walked across the lawn, all I could feel and here was QUAGMIRE. The soil around here is absolutely sodden. There will be no apples from my garden this year, there will be no cherries and there will be no blackberries this year.

There are a few well formed raspberries on my tree but whether they will ever get the chance to ripen we will have to wait and see: weather and birds are the enemies! Moreover, the dream of jars of my own raspberry jam have been postponed for a year!
