I have never seen Raspberries that are so large!
« on: July 24, 2008, 21:20:55 »
Been picking a few Raspberries over the past week or so, but tonight I picked the biggest ones I have ever seen.

These are twice the size of some of the other ones I was picking.

Not so sure on the variety as I think they were cheap canes from the £ shop.

Wont be buying shop bought rasps ever again.

Gonna make jam if i can gather enough, been freezing the ones I have picked so far.  But if I get more this size I should have loads!   ;) ;) ;) 





Never been so excited about fruit and veg!  ;) ;) ;) ;)

My Autumn Bliss have been ripening over the past couple of weeks - and huge fruits they are too. Bigger than I've had before.
