Notice the side branching on the 'before pruning' shot - the height of the canes had already been reduced by 50% in the autumn. A lot of the thin weedy new stems were removed along with some of the old woody ones. The text book way of pruning gave me a wonderful crop of leaves 2 years ago, I'm pretty sure I've repeated what I did last year, which worked a treat ...we'll see!
No it wasn't dark when I'd finished, it rained. Before putting the camera to bed for the night it stopped ...and I thought 'who knows it might work' - yeah, all you see is the subject surrounded by cool blackness - yeah, discovered a new technique for the blog!!!!
