Today we picked raspberries. We went with friends to a secret, loaded berry area and we picked close to two gallons of berries. I will be making jam with what we picked today.

Boys and their last effort to pick before they could pick no more.

We got rained on twice and we were all muddy and wet when we finished up but well worth the mess.
Do you have to worry about bears? I have one scrappy raspberry bush that has not produced one berry since moving here. I think it is time to end my misery. Ha.
ReplyDeleteI've just discoved my love for anything raspberry. Enjoy your raspberry jam - yummy!
ReplyDeleteRaspberry jam is our favorite! My kids LOVE it in their oatmeal. I could make a pot every morning and they would eat every bit.
ReplyDeletePicking berries together is a lot of fun. Our local orchard offers blueberries and blackberries. It's a summer tradition.
Looks like lots of fun, and I bet your jam is yummy. :)

I hope that you will do a post on making your jam from all those wonderful berries that you picked! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you and your family had a good time, despite the rain.
I may have to beg and bribe you to take me next year!
