It’s almost spring. That means it’s time to start cleaning out the freezer. As usual, there was a leftover bag of cranberries and a couple bags of frozen raspberries (I love a raspberry and mixed berry smoothies.) So, I tried combining the two. It’s a winning combination. From start to […]

The raspberry sprouts have graduated to full grown vines. Hopefully, they’ll survive the winter. Currently all of the raspberry and black berry bushes are still alive. Optimistically, the Dwarf Elberta peach looks about half alive. The Bonfire peach is on its last legs. And, the Kadota fig tree is a […]
