Have the red demons taken over???


Our lovely weedy garden...

The first pickings and many more to come.

They ripen behind me and I can't even keep up...
Well, it is that splendid time of year when things in the garden start producing and it is time to harvest...Okay, it is that time of year when the raspberries come on in force and I am near tears with the wonder and work that they bring with them. We were blessed to move into a home where raspberry plants were growing. Now, they have taken over the whole back of our garden and our lives. We even found raspberry starts shooting up through the cracks by the foundation IN our garage. Don't get me wrong, we love the berries...but, the work to get them? Last year we got over 15 gallons of the red gems. We will keep everyone posted on this years rewards. Jam anyone?
