Rumanci gave me the same advice, Pete. She said that I could the new growth back about one half, and cut the old, fruit-bearing branches away. Then, the raspberries will come on the cut-back new growths, next year.

I sure hope so. The raspberry bushes are taking over the corner of our house. We moved here six years ago, and I didn't even see the bush the first year or so, it was so small.

I remember one early Cape Cod morning, going out with a friend of my friend's, whom I had just met, to pick wild blueberris which he used to make blueberry pancakes for breakfast. You don't forget stuff like that...
