Ruby Tuesday Raspberries
We are fortunate in our wonderful crop of raspberries that grow in our backyard. The bottom photo shows a bowl of these delightful berries that my husband picked. Truth is, these berries rarely make it into our kitchen, as we love to eat them in our backyard, right off the branch. No need for recipes. We get crop #1 in early July on old canes and #2 in late August on the new, green canes. One trick for maintaining these berry bushes is be sure to prune the old canes.
To participate in Ruby Tuesday, post a photo (or more) with a little red or a LOT of red. Then visit Mary the Teach at http://workofthepoet.blogspot.com/ to submit your link.

East Gwillimbury WOW! says
Oh, I'm envious! Our raspberries produce only one crop a year. But you are so-o-o right that they rarely make it to the kitchen. Happy Ruby Tuesday!
Felisol says
Dear Leora,
I too wanna have some.
There are raspberry in the woods near by us, but they are all gone weeks ago.
Yours sure looked tempting, gave me water in my mouth.

In your backyard??? I am envious! If I had access to the beautiful berries, I'd eat on cereal, make raspberry vinegar, enhance a salad...no limit to the uses of this divine berry!
Mojo says
Fortunate is right! Those cost about $4 (USD) a pint where I live. And in addition to being one of my more favorite berries, they make a spectacular RT display!
Nicely done.
ettey says
delish!
Mimi Lenox says

Local ones here are REALLY expensive. Nice treat to have your own...
Louis la Vache says
Excellent choice for Ruby Tuesday!
Re your comment at Jerusalem Hills Daily Photo - "Louis" agrees with you. When he lived in France, he found a lot of the same sentiment by the French. We often forget about 1870 when we recall 1914 and 1940.
Jientje says
Wow, they do look delicious!!
They reminded me of my childhood. I used to pick them right off the bush too.
Ilana-Davita says
They look very appetizing. The shots are good too.
Mottel says
Those look great! One of my favorite memories as a child was picking raspberries with my cousins in the Laurentians.
Robin says
I love rasberries, but sadly you practically need to take out a second mortgage to buy them here.
judysteapot says
I could just pick them off my screen and eat them - I love rasberries..

I'm not usually a raspberry fan but straight off the vine it's amazingly wonderful and sweet. How lucky you have them in your backyard. :)
