Funny how you take some things for granted. I grew up in Washington and have always had lots of berries in my life. We actually have to prune heavily or the canes take over.

Picking berries is a tradition in my family. Its generational among our women. Its just part of our life.

I'm sure Texas has something that we do not. Do you have citrus fruits? If so, I envy you - expecially the fragrance of orange blossoms.
