Wildberries


When we first moved into our home, the yard was full of many different plants and flowers. One of these various plants was a raspberry bush that the previous owner put in a very poor location. It wasn't getting any sun, it wasn't producing many berries, and those it did produce were quickly gobbled up by the local wildlife before they could ripen properly. I decided to mow it under. To my surprise, the next year it regrew in another location. Well, that year we had the same results. I've mowed that bush down every year for the last 5 years, but this year it migrated to an area filled with other plants that I don't mow. This year, the thing is absolutely covered with berries. I picked quite a few today, and they're delicious. I guess I won't mow it down anymore!
