Yumm!!
The folks who built our house in 1960 were very much into gardening and had a large commercial-grade glass greenhouse on the property. It was wrecked years ago when a dumb-butt neighbor dropped a tree on it, and when we bought the property it was just a very large pile of broken sticks and glass. We had it cleaned out, but what remained was a 12-ft x 30-ft concrete foundation with 3 long open-dirt "troughs" under what would have been the growing tables. I turned and augmented the dirt there and planted 12 raspberry bushes of 2 different varieties down the middle one, and 2 grape vines in another. This is working out very nicely because I have a concrete "path" running along both sides of my raspberry patch. This helps keep them under control and it makes it easy to get to the berries from both sides. We had our first taste yesterday, and I expect that pretty soon we will be up to our eyeballs in raspberries. Canon 1DmkIII Canon 16-35mm f2.8L lens @ 35mm; ISO-100; f8; 1/80-sec JD |

Not only raspberries but I have a large backlog of eggs from when our banties began laying. That means that, because of the perfect conditions for a huge raspberry crop, we're having to put up with raspberry pavlova almost very evening :-( Life's tough, but we have to suffer ...
