All about the berries

Yes, the berries. That is what it is all about right now at the secret farm. First, it was the strawberries by the bucket all June long (and still a few stragglers now) And right on their heels (or whatever berries have) the raspberries! They are crazy this year! Which makes me wonder, do berries like drought? I did not water the raspberries AT ALL, and they are just nutso! BTW, the pic shows about a 1/4 of the raspberries picked yesterday!
The strawberries were pretty gangbusters too, with very little attention from me. In fact, watering them just seems to encourage slug damage, so I am refraining.
I just don't know how they make themselves so juicy and delicious without rain!? I know raspberries have very deep roots - ever try to dig some up? But strawberries have very shallow roots. Pretty amazing.
What are all your berries up to? What are your favs?

That's quite a harvest! My blueberries are coming along nicely this year, and I'm looking forward to making some homemade blueberry pie! It's always better to grow your own, don't you think? :D

Congrats on your berries! You're doing a pretty good job. Some berries are really drought tolerant. And strawberries don't want to sit in soggy soil.
But anyways, I see you haven't posted in a while. Hope you'd tell us more about your secret garden, err, farm. =)
