The Gardener's Notepad
Nothing says summer quite like picking and eating fresh black raspberries! Memories are made every time, whether it be the fun of direct pick & eat or the less enjoyable task of trying to extricate oneself from the middle of the thicket of scratchy branches that threaten to bring you down! 'Bristol' is an improvement of the native species and said to be seedless, and fruit is firm enough to handle without bruising/bleeding. Introduced to the trade in 1934.
