If all of mine are as delicious as the first Roma, I'll be having plenty of salads.<br /><br />I really hope you are right about the raspberries, Amber. I'd love some in the fall, or anytime for that matter. <br /><br />Thanks for the location, Rayli. I think I'm going to have to take Nick up to Glenview to visit that place. You're right--the price of no mess is worth it. Nick was making salad dressing paintings with his dinner tonight, and that was no fun to clean up.Melissa E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01113865084692372656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070064951323591230.post-58315188600801695742010-07-12T07:22:03.153-05:002010-07-12T07:22:03.153-05:00Same about the raspberries... Truthfully I never e...Same about the raspberries... Truthfully I never even grew them they kinda decided to grow in my yard on their own. My neighbors had them. I try my hardest to get rid of them. They are attacking my yard, and attracting bees! I think if you put a little metal fencing around your veggies it'll keep the bunnies and squirrels away. also i heard sprinkling pepper around it works too!<br /><br />Anyway, you wanted to know where Make A Messterpiece is... It's at The Glen in Glenview. It is a little pricey, but so nice to not have to clean up my house afterward... :)Raylihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15989749515699615090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070064951323591230.post-23299214027517594832010-07-11T23:41:06.297-05:002010-07-11T23:41:06.297-05:00My raspberries don't produce the first summer....My raspberries don't produce the first summer. So you get lots of leaves but not much else. However, they do produce in the fall, and then the following years in the summer, as well. And then they seed themselves and just go-go-go. So I think that all hope is not yet lost for your raspberries.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070064951323591230.post-48805821417403937962010-07-11T14:22:04.756-05:002010-07-11T14:22:04.756-05:00what an attractive visitor!
