Short and Sweet

I love berries.
Strawberries, raspberries, saskatoons, blueberries....
Buying them at the grocery store can be expensive.
But I have one big advantage. I have my own strawberry plants in my garden and a small flower garden with half of it full of raspberry canes.
Next year, I think I will also invest in a few blueberry and saskatoon bushes.
This year, my strawberries simply decided not to produce, at least no more than a handful or two, berry-wise.
But the raspberry bushes...WELL!!!!
As my son says "It's like they just can't live without you!", which in child-speak means they are producing at an amazing rate this year. In a mere month, my teeny patch has given me more than 5 POUNDS of berries!
And let me tell you, if you have only tried store-bought raspberries, you have NO IDEA what you are missing! There is NOTHING that tastes quite as good and sweet as a dessert or even a handful made of your own, home-grown, no preservatives added raspberries, fresh from the garden.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
