There are a couple of nice orchards around here, and we usually go once a year to pick whatever is in season. In the past, we’ve picked blueberries, apples, pears, and peaches. We also have raspberry bushes in the field behind our yard. They belong to a neighbor, but he said if we don’t pick them the birds will just eat them so to help ourselves. I guess he got tired of raspberries, which is incredible to me. They’re so yummy! I know peaches are in season now and I’m hoping to go pick some later this week.
This year we noticed something really strange about the raspberry bush. Several of the branches produced white raspberries, which we’ve never seen in the four years we’ve lived here. They taste just like red raspberries, but are a creamy yellow when ripe.
