~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.
Freezer number 2 is 75% full now.
I took some raspberries up to Nicole and Dominique today. Lucian, Dominique's father, was a master gardener and grew raspberries but Dominique said he'd never seen such large fruit.
So, I thought I'd add a few pictures from our fruit cages and beds.
Our large Tulameen variety of raspberries
Our raspberry "wall".

Our largest yield of raspberries on one day was 4 kg.

In a cold January there's nothing so nice as picking out a handful of five different fruits from the freezer, gently cooking them with a little sugar and serving them with fromage frais. Summer in a dish!
