Raspberries

Saturday is usually the day we work outside in the yard and garden. However, it's raining quite heavily today (which is very unusual for this area in July) and I only managed to go outside for a few minutes to refill the hummingbird feeder and take a quick look at the plants.

The raspberries really like their new home. So much so that they are hiding the blueberries that are planted in the other side of the box. I will have to give the blueberries a new home of their own.

The raspberry plants had already produced berries earlier this spring and now they are producing again, although more abundantly. Seems very unusual doesn't it? At any rate I'm looking forward to a nice fall crop of raspberries.

Here is a close up of how the berries look so far:

I also found these little mushrooms all over my yard:

In the summer after a nice shower they pop up everywhere. I think they thrive in all that humidity. Then they are ususally gone by the next day or so when it gets hot and dry again.
