The Other Raspberries

The last raspberries were cultivated. Planted in neat little rows with most of the sharp thorns bred out of them over the years.

These are the bad boys of raspberries. They can put out shoots and move over 20 feet a year, vropping up where you didn't want them. But, they taste great, and seem to be quite plentiful in my small suburban backyard. Oh, and the thorns on these are 10 times more aggresive than theose last raspberries.

Fresh Raspberries

The season has arrived. Fresh Raspberries.

My special thanks to all those other people who picked berries and only took the ones on the outside of the plant. A little bit of digging yielded me some wonderful berries. Oh, and for those of you who have yet to go out and pick, remember, the throns are poisonous. Really poisonous. Scary poisonous. Unless you're like me and immune.
