Raspberries

Ripened by the sunshine
Red and very juicy
Ready for me to eat
Rich in vitamin c
Really nice as snacks
Rinse before you eat them -
Risk of small wriggly worms!

Marikate Kingston Date: 10/28/2023 7:48:00 PM A yummy one and so clever. My family used to pick these in Vermont. They are so pretty and your poem, even without the picture, says that. ( Although that is pretty too ) Yikes, I will adhere to your last line from now on. Not a fan of wriggly worms! Congradulations on your win. Hooray! Login to Reply

Kim Merryman Date: 9/7/2023 5:25:00 PM This is great, Jan! I remember reading an article recently about letting rasberries soak because of the little worms. Don't want to eat them! Congrats on your 1st place win! Blessings, Kim M Login to Reply

Tony Hargreaves Date: 9/4/2023 1:36:00 PM Ripe blackberries galore / Round juicy and taste sweet / Rasberries I rarely see / Really I prefer these / Rummaging in brambles / Rarely the red ones seen. Login to Reply

Jeff Connelly Date: 9/3/2023 7:19:00 AM Mine ripened and were eaten earlier this season, but this poem makes for a good memory. Thanks Jan Login to Reply Jeff Connelly Date: 9/3/2023 8:38:00 AM That's incredible!!! I have Killarney Reds. A spurt in the Spring; and then that's it... Sigh... Jan Allison Date: 9/3/2023 7:41:00 AM I will get another crop at the end of the month or in October. How I got 'super raspberry' cane (see below) to be so prolific in fruiting and spreading is a mystery. I purchase 6 canes and only this one grew and grew and grew! hugs Jan xx

Deb M Date: 9/3/2023 6:45:00 AM From your garden also Jan? Look beautiful…..Debx Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 9/3/2023 7:39:00 AM I get an amazing crop twice a year - all from one raspberry cane which evolved into 'super raspberry' i now have over 40 canes:-) hugs jan xx
