After the strawberry fiasco, you would think I’d learned my lesson. Not. My wife’s father, who passed in 2010, left me a legacy in raspberries. Just when the strawberries finally ceased production, I thought I’d get a reprieve. While puttering around out back yesterday, what to my horror appeared? At least these are easier to pick. Last, but not least will be the blueberries in the midst of their high season.. There will be no surcease until the blackberries are done at the end of August.

Many claim the raspberry as the king of berries. I think the strawberries are tastier with perhaps the blueberries running a close second. The raspberry jam is king in my book.

All you heppers should take note. Blueberries are chock full of resveratrol (like red wine) which is an excellent source of anti-oxidents. It makes your liver berry, berry happy.
