I have thornless. No slivers for me last year. They can be planted for easy picking. I will start a thread soon about growing raspberries.

It's raining cats, dogs and pine needles here. o_O
My sister had/has a large raspberry patch, her arms are completely scarred from a heavy thorning she got a couple years ago. She looks like a burn victim, worst part of the experience was when she went to a dr. for help they told her they didn't see anything and she was hallucinating! She did file a complaint with the medical board and spent weeks with tweezers removing them herself. It's horrible I tell you, now she uses sleeves made for attack dog training to pick berries. I'm gonna ask for a pic so you can see the dangers of berry picking. Or, go thornless.

Good Morning my happy pond friends!! Grab a coffee and enjoy the shining sun and green grass. My house is disappearing under a thick heavy vine! No wonder it stays so cool on hot days!!

@callingcolleen1 and you don't have to wash the windows!

72 and climbing here. Going to be in the high 80's today. Had a nice long walk in the sunshine and it sure felt good!
