    14 September 2007 Late Season Raspberries.

    http://biida.notlong.com/ This is the second year for these six plants. The fruit is born on new growth each year. In the late fall the bushes are cut back to ground level. A bowl full of fruit is picked daily, and the harvest started five days ago. The berries are full flavoured and as delicious as they appear in the photographs.

    There is an early raspberry variety in the garden, which bears fruit on last year's growth, so the bearing canes are removed immediately after the berry harvest is complete.

    It is important to differentiate between the two varieties or one might end up with no fruit the following year.

    Yumm! Raspberries are one of those plants where you surely can't beat home grown.

    The raspberries are still producing. The quantity is about a litre every other day from my small patch.
