Raspberries are masters of disguise! To look at the raspberries from a distance you can just see green leaves. I suppose this might fool a passing blackbird from a distance, but this is why I missed these beauties ripening underneath.
Only three today, but there are more ripening every day. There is nothing on earth like a freshly picked raspberry straight off the plant! They didn't make it anywhere near a bowl or a spoon.
Meanwhile, neatly tied up to a fence these loganberries are a few weeks away yet. Their super abundance is the first ingredient in a Summer Pudding. I love this time of year, and the time is drawing near.
Hot sunshine on these past few days has brought my leek flowers nearer and nearer to opening. I can almost see the bees queuing up around the corner!

ReplyDeleteThose look wonderful! And it looks like a nice summer for you, in a several posts. We had a nice day of it yesterday. But hope for more to come.
ReplyDeleteYour leek flowers look as though they are going to be amazing. Great idea keeping them for the bees. We all need a few flowers around our veg plots to bring in the pollinating insects. We wouldn't get far without them!
ReplyDeleteThose raspberries lok goooorgeous! :-) Love 'n' hugs, Mel xx
ReplyDeleteTalking of your camouflage raspberries. I tell you a little story. I got a job on a raspberry farm last year, I only lasted two days. Colour blindness!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't picking enough berries lol :P
