Welcome to another "Gooden Life" as we plot and garden in the Cotswolds, growing food and flowers the best way we can. We are not experts, but hopefully we can offer a tip or two?  

Keith & Freya Gooden turn their snippers to their raspberries and blackcurrants plants. One needs a hard hair cut (like Keith) while the other requires a little more thought and finesse! (Freya)

A little time and effort will guarantee you a good crop for eating and preserves for 2025, so don't rush this important job.
