Growing raspberries to max sweetness - last years bland

worded

I grow lots of different varieties but found them
Very bland

Aside from adding sugar to them just before eating them, any growing tips on enhancing flavour? Is it possible to get the plant to product more flavoursome raspberries ?

I've been reading a James Wong growing for flavor book and he recommends spraying the plants with an aspirin mix. Half a tablet to a litre I think. Can't say yet how well it will work, but I'm trying it on my chilli's and strawberries.

Got some raspberry plants that are the same variety that have spread to grow inside a polytunnel after being planted outside. The raspberries from the plants growing inside have had a much better flavour than the ones outside. Not sure if it's the dryer conditions or the higher temperatures, but also get fruit much earlier inside the polytunnel.

I have the answer - I hope

Prune chest height, feed at first blossom and water a lot
