Fiona's golden choice


Will and I can't thank Fiona & Charles enough for the birthday present of raspberry canes. They sent six for my birthday, a wide variety. Last year, the canes arrived, stick-like and straight. We planted them in the perfect place. Will stepped on two of canes while mowing. I knocked one over. And two simply didn't make it.

However, the one that did make it was the golden raspberry variety--should have known that Fiona would have picked the best kind of golden raspberry! We have picked about 40 this year and they are so delicious. There is no point in even trying to get pick them and get them into the house. You pick them, you eat them. Instantaneously. We have about 12 more on the bush and I guarantee that they will be eaten shortly. We put mesh over the bush to ensure that we get them and not the birds. Cuz we aren't going to share these. Unless you are Fiona, and you bought it for us. Otherwise, you can only look at the photo and be jealous...
