Beginning the Harvest

I think I have told the story here before about how the experts at the local gardening club told us we would 'never grow raspberries on Burray'. Generally we grow more raspberries than we know what to do with, so some years a packed freezer means a treat for the local bird population. 

This year though we will be picking for ourselves and here's the first crop. There were still loads on the  canes needing to ripen when we got these on Sunday so we'll be venturing to the raspberry plants again tomorrow if the sun is shining. Or if it just isn't raining.
