The start of raspberry picking has begun! This is the second container picked from our small raspberry patch with many more to come as the days go on and they are oh so tasty!
Tomorrow we'll be going to a local fruit and vegetable farm where we will pick blueberries. Yum, my favorite fruit!
We actually are growing a few blueberry shrubs in our backyard and this is the first year they have produced more than just a few berries. Never having grown blueberries before I didn't realize the birds were even more eager than us to eat the berries, they took them off the shrubs before they were totally ripe! Next year we will cover each bush with screening to keep the birds from dining first, but will be sure to leave some for them to feast on afterwards.
It's another humid day here, just picking the fruit to nearly fill the basket with raspberries had me dripping with sweat, ugh! As I've said before, I can take the heat but not the humidity which also makes breathing difficult. We may get a passing shower or quick storm sometime today but we doubt it will do anything to lessen this high humidity we've been having all this month. Whew!
Hope it's cooler or at least a bit less humid where you are. Enjoy the fruits of the summer, they don't last for long!
Blessings,
Sher
