Free Raspberries and Blackberries

It's that time of year again!  If you live in the midatlantic region like me then the wild raspberries are now here.  Some of the blackberries are in but a lot of them are not ripe yet.  Check again in a couple of weeks.  But definitely look for raspberries now.

If you live in a wooded area, look along the woods edge to find them. Be careful picking, since they grow on vines covered on tiny thorns. The leaves grow in groups of three so they may be mistaken for poison ivy. However, poison ivy doesn't have thorns and the leaves of poison ivy are kind of shiny.

If you don't live in the woods like me, go to a park that runs along a wooded area.  You may find a lot there.
