[NAFEX] Blunder Dog and Raspberries



I have a similar problem, but it's my neighbor's dog.  (In theory, we 
have a leash law. . .)  She doesn't dig holes, but she does walk through 
plantings and knock things down.  I use lots of cheap metal fencing to 
redirect her energies.

Mostly, this has worked, but recently she's started walking through the 
raspberries, and I'm afraid she'll knock down the canes.  I guess I need 
more fencing.

Question:  My Fall Red raspberries broke dormancy a few weeks ago, when 
it suddenly got very warm.  For some reason, to large, thick canes were 
much slower to sprout than the others.  Both show signs of life - but 
one is well behind the rest, and the other is just showing a half inch 
of green.  (The rest of the canes have a few leaves out at every bud by 
now.)  I can't see anything obviously wrong with the slow canes.  The 
color is normal, and I haven't noticed any unusual lesions.  Are they 
okay?  Is this an early sign of disease?  Should I remove them?

Thanks,
Ginda
