The pollinators and the rains came at exactly the right time. The black raspberry patch is full of plump, juicy berries. Plenty to pick today, with many more to come.
Raspberries are the little jewels of the garden ... so delicious on top of a bowl of cereal or mixed into yogurt in the morning, or baked into a cobbler or tossed onto a scoop of ice cream for dessert, or straight out of hand anytime. And don't forget the fruity pancakes and muffins and jam etc etc etc. My mouth is watering already!
The chickens love to browse the brambles. They reach up and pluck the berries off the canes. We've seen our neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Brown Thrasher, helping themselves to the good fruit. And there's plenty of evidence that other birds have been enjoying the berries, as well. The dogs even like to take a nibble or two. But no worries. There's plenty for all!
