Raspberry Boom

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

A+ and I planted a few small raspberry plants at the back of our garden plot the very first year we had it, in hopes that they would eventually grow and fruit. I don't remember them producing very much the last couple of years, but that would make sense because the plants hadn't had time to mature yet. However, this year we did expect to get some raspberries, and were a bit disappointed when they did not bear any ripened fruit in what should have been their first fruiting cycle. In fact, we wondered a bit whether the raspberry plants were somehow ill, and would need to be replaced (something I hope we won't have to do).

Although we did miss the first fruiting cycle, they seem to be doing much better for the second fruiting cycle, and producing anywhere between a half a pint to almost a full pint every couple of days. I'm glad to see them actually producing fruit, although we may still need to replace them if we can't figure out why they didn't fruit earlier this summer.

But for now, I will just enjoy the raspberries and be glad that we have as many as we do.
