When you ask me what my favorite season is, I might answer \u201cberry season!\u201d I pretty much love any and all berries, and raspberries are no exception. Most people would have a special area of their garden set aside for raspberries and tie them to wires and keep them tame and tidy. I\u2019ve inadvertently taken a differnt path\u2013I grow them in my borders and they have increased their footprint over time so that now there are probably 100 plants or more, in both gold- and red-berried cultivars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would guess I\u2019ve had these red raspberries in the garden for twenty years. They never fail to produce two crops of delicious berries, mostly in the bed on the north side of the driveway. They lean way over the driveway and the car gets less and less room as the seaon progresses, but I don\u2019t want to cut them back because, well, BERRIES!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
