We are growing golden raspberries along with the red ones. They are even sweeter and more delicate.

Our berry bushes are producing! Thankfully neither the squirrels or the birds seem that interested.

Today was the day for picking fruit in our backyard. The netting on the cherry tree worked! We have a 5-graft tree from Raintree Nursery, and this is the tree’s third year. The boysenberries are good this year, too. The raspberries not so much, and the blueberries are just getting going. What treasure!

Clockwise from upper left: Boysenberries, Montmorency cherries, dark cherries, other dark cherries and Rainier cherries, blueberries and raspberries.

Today I picked the first real harvest of red raspberries, about a quart. The birds and squirrels don’t seem as interested in these berrries, at least so far. I am grateful.

I am pleased to announce that so far, the squirrels seem completely uninterested in the raspberries which are bearing this year for the first time. As opposed to, let’s say, strawberries, of which I have picked NOT ONE. Nuts. I guess I can’t complain, having so few garden pests or predators, but still. You grow them and you want to eat them, or at least taste them! I’ve also learned that raspberries, even unwashed and in an open container, get moldy after three days or so in the fridge. I won’t let that happen again.

Visit Ruby Tuesday (and these berries are ruby colored, for sure!) Color Carnival, Macro Monday, and Macro Friday. If there is only the one berry photo below, do click on Sara’s Fave Photos for the rest of them. Thanks for visiting!
