The raspberries are finally ripe!

The raspberries started to turn a little bit red last week.  For the last 7 days I have heard 14 times per day how badly the boys wanted to pick the raspberries.  I told them if I caught them they would be cut off from TV for a week!

Finally today they are ripe, a lovely deep purple.  They picked berries to their hearts content.  And ate berries to their hearts content.  I will make jam tomorrow, after they have eaten enough that they don't want to eat anymore.

You can see in the pictures as well that the grapes are doing well this year.  I am somewhat scared of the fall for all of the grapes I am going to have to deal with.  I cut them back to what I thought was half last year but they obviously love to get cut back.
