Now due to the "unusual" way I pruned the raspberry bushes last year (mowing them down with the lawn tractor) I'm not expecting much of a crop. I do hope I can get enough to at least make some jam. I need 6 cups of crushed raspberries to make a batch of jam. There is only around 2 or 3 cups there. So I'll crush them, measure them and put them in the freezer for later.
I got a couple of lettuce hearts for supper on Sunday night. Then that is half the pea crop, the other half will be ready later this coming week.
I also managed to get a bit of the grass cut. I need dh to have a look at the mowing deck on the tractor as I think it is off ballance and not cutting as good as it was. For once I can say the blades are fine!!!
Bit of a short post today, as I want to finish off reading a book I started. "Thunder Bay," by Beth Loughner, it's a nice short one and an easy read.
I am a British born, living in Canada since May of 1989. My blog is about all aspects of my daily life.

Looks lovely Gill. Love raspberries but I also love blackberries and remember picking the wild ones from the hedgerows when I was young, and mum baking a pie out of them. I content myself with buying them these days.
Thanks for stopping by and wishing me a happy birthday the other day. Hope your week goes well.

Gill,
Those raspberries look so good. I planted a few canes last year and I'm hoping next year to have some.
I bought some the other day and made pancakes with them. They were delicious.
You garden is quite ahead of ours by the look of those snap peas.
Have a great read!
Raspberries are among my favorites and I hope you get enough to make some jam to enjoy when they are long gone!
How lovely to have delicious fresh food straight from the garden. Yum!
Yum,fresh raspberries! I got some fresh Quebec strawberries at the grocery store today and keep raiding the wild blackberry bushes at and around the Oratory!
