doing very little. it has grown a few new leaves and apart from that you
can't tell it has done anything. what should i do?

I put one in last year, and it did very little last year, apart from
growing lots of new canes, but this year is an abundance of fruit. It
fruits on one year old canes, so next year will bear fruit. You have
to prune it to take account of this.

Be patient.

Any newly planted plant will spend some time establishing a good root
system before putting on top growth.

The new growth it pus on later this year is what will give the berries
for next year. Each year cut to the ground any canes that have fruited.
