U-pick
“There's nothing better than fresh raspberries on your morning cereal or snacking as you pick.”

Crops and picking times
“There are two types, July bearing, that bloom on last year's wood, and everbearing, that bear on primocanes (the new canes that grow up in the summer).”
“It's not mentioned, but we also ordered in some Boyne raspberry starts this year.”
“Everbearing varieties produce on new canes in fall, then again next July on the same canes.”
“Tip back the canes but don't cut them out until after they bear again in July.”

“The first is in July, then after a rest (and I suggest a feed at this stage), another large flush in later summer that can last into frost.”

“For sweetness, you want a perfectly ripe, completely red Albion, picked in late August and eaten right out of the garden.”
