This week my family found the first raspberries off our plants. I can't tell you how excited I am, as we've never had much luck growing raspberries in past years. This year our plants are large, healthy, and full of berries! I spent the morning weeding the garden and the berry beds and picking the first crop of my favorite fruit.

| Did you know: An individual raspberry weighs about 4 g, on average and is made up of around 100 drupelets. each of which consists of a juicy pulp and a single central seed. |
 |
| We have two kinds of raspberries; the traditional red raspberry and blush- a lighter colored variety. |
 |
| My faithful, hilarious companion Lexi. Apparently he likes the raspberries too! |
 |
| I got the garden completely weeded this morning...let's see how long it lasts. |
 |
| This is our gentle giant, Thor. We have a small row of corn growing right in front of the chicken run. |
