A while back I wrote about our raspberry patch and how it looked a little 'sparce' this year.....well, I don't know what I was worried about!! They did arrive earlier than usual and we have a 'bumper crop'. We can barely keep up with them; there are some days (depending on the weather) when we could go out there and pick twice a day! The two containers above were from just one picking last night. Grandpa started on one end, I on the other and worked our way to the middle. It can be a real chore as some of the vines are not standing straight up and you have to pick them up and find that they are just loaded with berries. We love this time of the year and will miss our raspberries when we move to Tennessee......especially, Grandpa. As you can see, he likes to eat them FRESH and with some good vanilla ice cream.
Doesn't get better thant that!!
