A New Garden Favorite

These are our beautiful Autumn Gold raspberries. We are still getting them! We got a TON this year. Not sure what happened to the red respberries I supposedly planted in between these, but hey - these seem a little sweeter to me, so I wasn't too sad.
As usual, we also had tomatoes, zuchinni, lettuce, peppers, basil, cucumbers, blueberries and cilantro. We also tried cauliflower this year which did well. We had Asian pears coming out of our ears and could not keep up with them. For some reason our green beans never worked (how do you mess those up?) And the grapes I feel terrible about never getting to harvest. We were out of town around the time they ripened. I always do overkill on our garden and can't keep up when things get busy, but our garden makes me so happy. Natalie and Bert *LOVE our harvest too. I hope someday Sarah and Angela will appreciate all the yummy things we grow right in our backyard. If we could find a hot dog bush, we'd be in business!
