We like to pretend that we can garden, but we aren’t really so good at it. Luckily, our raspberries are doing great without much help from us. We have been enjoying a great harvest this year. We’ve made seven batches of raspberry jam so far and had plenty of berries to eat fresh or put on ice cream. Yesterday, we got about 16 cups (4 ½ pounds) of berries. That is our new record for a single picking.
All of our kids love raspberries, but Abby is the biggest fan. She’ll wander back and forth between us to beg for berries while we are picking. Nate was saying the other day that it must be an amazing sensation for her mouth since her taste buds are used to relatively bland food. It makes me picture the scene in Ratatouille where the rat is tasting the strawberry and cheese and fireworks go off inside his head.

I love raspberries! We were getting a really good crop, but in the last couple of days it has started to slow down. :(
Austin and Zack are the same as Abby though, when we were picking them the other day they kept grabbing fistfuls out of the bowl and then they just started putting their faces right in the bowl like dogs, it was hilarious! I wish I could have got a picture.
