Hi there Meg.. didn’t get back to your on raspberries..

yes, got a quart. They were pretty picked over. When was in garden shop area gettin my containers to pick & a man arrived wanting to purchase prepicked berries - 6 qts. The lady said they had none due to low yield & heavy picking recenlty. He was disappointed. Not sure how much the picked quarts are. They are 6.99 at Upick um (and of course I east half a quart!). He walked back to his mercedes convertible downcast .. so guess he could afford them. lol

I rather ration them out & we will have them available til first frost or around Halloween.

There are a lot of green &Upcoming berries on the bushes.. just need the warmed weather & sun to get them

didn’t mean to indicate the one quart would last til halloween.. but that the berry patch closes then.

My berries will be rationed over a few days.

I love them & they are so healthy for most people.. I guess Diabetics might have some problems

Good morning, Dolly.
Sorry the berry pickins were slim this year.

When I was in high school, we picked boysenberries one year for school clothes.
That was a rough job.
I don't remember, but I doubt that we made much money. :^ )

Are the raspberries sweet, Dolly? Fresh-picked wild berries and/or fruit= Yum. Like Meg, it’s been a while for me too. When I lived in northern California, we had all the blackberries we liked in the fall... growing along the roadside, in vacant lots, etc....FREE!!!
