Picking raspberries

mine have fruit but it's hard and green and tiny. they'll need more than just sunshine. couple of months to mature i think. and mine are growing in last year's canes, so they should be a summer crop, not an autumn crop variety
 
I remember raspberry picking in my bosses garden on The Wirral. There were not too many in the bag after.
 
I've never had the opportunity to pick raspberries, but have had the opportunity to deal with the spiders, green and yellow slugs and other nasty critters in blackberry briars. The worse was itchy hands.

mine are only one their 2nd season in the ground. (only lived here for 4 winters and 1st one I spent in hospital and rehab for 4 months so...) handful of fruit last year. I move some runners to another spot this winter and planted another 3 canes of different variety. existing stuff is taking over the corner of the veg plot. think they'll get moved this winter at least all but main 6 plants. there's red currant in there somewhere as well.
