Raspberries are a pain to harvest, but they sure are plentiful and fun to eat! The black raspberries we planted in our garden several years ago have finally started to bear fruit. Plus, black raspberries grow wild in Michigan, and you can find a profusion of them down every trail and along every tree break. We have enough wild raspberries within walking distance of home to satisfy all of us!

The rest of our garden is doing nicely. Some of the tires don't seem to want to sprout, but most of them have tons of greenery now, and everything is starting to bloom. It is so cool to see food growing in your own garden!
