Raspberry, unexpected

18 Sep 2021 66
In late May month, we received in the mail canes for five raspberry plants. We had not ordered them so they were not planned for. I put them in the ground with hardly any expectation of their growing. They came as an apology from a supplier who'd promised us something else which they did not have enough of to cover our order. Oh well. Even growing, I did not expect the raspberries to bloom and fruit this year. Three canes took, sprouting leaves. Then flowers. And this morning, a few days before the fall equinox, there it was -- a ripe raspberry. And a few more in waiting. Next year, pie!
