Just don't look at them as you eat them because you will be amazed at all of the tiny bugs and spiders that have taken up residence inside that berry. With all the rain we have had lately though, there are probably fewer hitchhikers than there normally would be.

Extra protein.

You just soak them in water first.

GF picks a bunch from our tree, puts in a bucket for a while, skims off the bugs and bits.
Repeat a 2nd time to get a bit more cleaned up.
Makes mulberry muffins out of them.

Summer to me = windows closed and AC cranked. Open windows is April-May and late September-early November.

Our oldest has developed pollen allergies. I really miss being able to do this in the spring.

I'm getting worse with pollen as I age, but I'm outside enough that I'm already a mess so might as well enjoy the breeze.

These are wild raspberries. Not as big as the store bought ones but usually sweeter. Make sure you wash them and you should be ok.
