I'll second that! Big an sweet this year too!!!! Last week my mom had enough to make a special batch of jelly for all her grandkids. Good stuff there. I love rasberries, they rank second to blueberries but best fruit locally for me.

I have wild black raspberries and blackberries in several places on my land, the somewhat dry summer was unkind to them, though we did get a few.

I just pick 2 gallons of wild blackberrries. There are thousands of red ones this year. The past couple of years every spring I through some 12-12-12 around them and it really helps. They are the size of the top of my pinkey

I was out patrolling my back lot and stopped and ate a few of those big black berries. They are big but not as good as rasberries. My rasberries didn't fair too well this year.
That is a good tip parrothead. I will try that with my different patches to see if that helps.
