I spent most of the morning cleaning up the red raspberries. Do any of you grow raspberries? There is absolutely nothing better fresh than red raspberries. I've frozen them whole and juiced them but fresh is the way to go!! There's just nothing like them. I do believe the best dish I've ever taken to an herb carry-in or church dinner was a dish of fresh red raspberries, fresh blackberries, fresh strawberries, fresh blueberries with chopped lemon balm scattered over the top. I had more ooohs and aahhs than I would have ever expected and it was simply delectable. You just can't beat fresh fruit. By the looks of my raspberries I think we're going to have a pretty good year too!! Yahoo!!!
What a gorgeous day!! I could not contain myself this morning. I got a pan and started picking dandelion greens and blooms, wild violet greens and blooms and clover for my chickens. When I threw them in the chicken run they went right to town on all the fresh greens. So good for them and good for us too!! I spent most of the morning cleaning up the red raspberries.

I like to throw them on a roast for a little added flair and some tartness. Think of them as a condiment. They really aren't too bad.

AuthorMy name is Nina. Southern Indiana has been my home since 1952. I've been a legal secretary most of my adult life and for my leisure time I enjoy everything connected to the world of herbs and cooking is almost like a "fever". I am also quite opinionated but try not to push my opinions on others. My family is grown and I'm left with a wonderful hubby sharing life with me. I'd guess you'd say my passion is living that life to the fullest. Archives
