I'd leave autumn fruiting ones until Feb (or at least until after Christmas) Meghan. I think the roots re-absorb some of the energy from the canes once the leaves die off.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
I'm still having to cut the flowers off the strawberry plants. They are meant to be earliest but are insistent that they really want to be year rounds!
I leave my autumn fruiting raspberries until February to cut them down. They provide cover for the robins and dunnocks to fossick around and find food in when the hardest weather hits us.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

I picked a few strawberries today, which was nice.
Yes!
Autumn rasps. still going strong (southern Scotland) ... also alpine strawbs.
Plenty for breakfast yoghurt ... with lashings of honey ( beekeeper's perks).

A single bee creates just one twelfth of a teaspoon of honey in her lifetime

Picked the last lot of raspberries last week. Great year for them here
