Raspberries - day 1
One of our neighbors (retired couple) has been especially helpful to these Newbies in the Northwoods. When they asked us a favor, we said yes immediately. They were going on vacation for a week so...could we come over and take care of their garden while they were gone? The garden is huge with a tall fence and then an electric fence farther out. It is the peak of harvest for many things..mainly raspberries...rows and rows of raspberries. Day 1 - we figured how to get inside both fences; we brought several large containers; we bought 2 children's sand buckets from the Dollar Store so we could hang them from a loose belt leaving both hands free to pick; we were astounded at the 10 cups that we picked. There would have been more I feel - because my bucket was twice as full as Case's. I think he was eating more than he was putting in the bucket. We came home at 9 am and had vanilla ice cream and fresh raspberries - lots of them.
