Raspberries are a Little Gift

When summer comes the first awesome fruit crop you have is strawberries.  All you can do is think about how amazing they taste on cereal, on ice cream, or just by the handful!  And then when they die out it's almost like the saddest culinary event....until the raspberries come.  I have 4 plants in my garden.  One is a wild raspberry plant which I got at the Madison Farmers Market and the others are from my friend Becky's garden.  I only have had berries on the plants from Becky and will probably only have a couple of cups to show for the crop.  Next year will be better and I am most definitely going to be getting more plants.  Wouldn't it be great to have so many that I could make jam and Raspberry Cream Cheese Muffins?  Oh, yeah.  It totally would.
