When I was little, I was in the Girl Scouts.  On many occasions, we met at Carrie Welfare’s house for our weekly meeting.  I remember that I would go to the side of her house, where their raspberry plant was, and clean them out.  I would eat every single raspberry on their plant — even the ones that were just turning red.
So fast forward 25 years…..I now have my very own raspberry plants.  They didn’t fruit last year, but they have come around this year.  I bought two different types, and one is currently ripening but has only a handful of berries.  The other one will be fruiting in about a month, but has four times the amount.  I don’t know which I like better — “the instant gratifier”, or the “land of plenty”.  I renamed them myself since I threw away the markers with the real names.  Not too smart when I want to add another of my favorite bushes, and I created a guessing game.

Scout is like his mom and LOVES raspberries!  He wants to check on them about every six hours.

Icka is like her dad and is wild!  Therefore, she was left on the other side of the pool fence.
