Our raspberries are mighty tasty. The kids have been eating them off the bushes, as does the workman I saw sneaking around out there. We made about a gallon of wine so far. We brought out the raspberry wine around Christmas last year, and it was like a sweet kiss of summer.
I've recently learned the raspberry leaves have medicinal uses, especially for issues pertaining to reproductive organs. I was having cramps so bad I was throwing up. Serious! The gyn's recommendation was that I go on the pill, but my friend Abby's recommendation was that I drink raspberry leaf tea. I drank a lot the first month or two, when it was colder, but I don't drink as much now. Raspberry leaves tone the uterus lining, and I guess that fixed what ailed me.
I have the kind of raspberries that sucker out. They bear in the fall and then again in the spring. I started out with five plants, and now I have a patch that is about five feet by 15 feet. They take no care, and grow like weeds. Now that's my kind of plant!
