Berry Yummy
A Spring Day
.
Raspberries usually produce berries twice each year. The first time is in early summer, and the second is in early fall. They grow almost anywhere in my neighborhood, require virtually no maintenance and make a yummy treat for humans as well as wild animals. One of my dogs even knew how to recognize the ripe berries and eat them.
When animals eat raspberries, they get a treat, and then return the favor by carrying the seeds to new locations. Raspberry seeds pass unharmed through the digestive systems of most animals.
Raspberries usually grow together in tight bunches. Thorns on the plant stems make a great natural barrier and act as a shelter for rabbits and other wild critters.
