I started a raspberry patch in 2013. There's two rows, about 25 feet long. I am just getting my first significant crop. I'm getting 2 to 3 quarts a week. These are ever bearing. Very hardy plants. I picked a handful last November 6th, with snow on the ground. I made a 9 inch pie today. Here's some pics.

Yummy! are yours the thornless kind? I had some of the ones with thorns, gave up on them, it was miserable picking the berries.

I believe they are. Real easy to pick.

The ones with thorns, at the base of each berry your fingers got stuck by thorns, the branches stuck you, the leaves stuck you..................

Crust looks good too Mike. Did u use butter or lard. Both make the best crust. Just never use vegetable shorting cause that stuff is where all the bad Trans fats are. I use butter for my crusts now like the French people. Lard is just as good as long as it is pure lard and not the evil vegetable shorting.
