Raspberries and Rhubarb.......

Summer fruit.........Growing up in the Kootenays my parents had a great raspberry patch as did all of my extended family.  When  I was young my Mother would 'volunteer ' my sisters and I to pick raspberries at a few of my  relatives  gardens...... I have always loved raspberries but was never able to have my own 'patch'   well things have changed!   Two years ago I planted a row of raspberry canes and now I am the proud 'owner' of  berries so sweet and juicy  and producing so very well.  Each time I go out in my gardens to water the raised bed area (which just happens to be near the raspberries) I have a feast.....such a treat while doing the mundane task of watering my plants.  Today I decided to bake with raspberries that I picked two days ago and fresh rhubarb from my garden.
