Home grown #raspberries !!
We got our first harvest of 3 berries on the first of September, then another harvest of 3 a few days ago. And now this!!
So exciting!!

Out plant is still quite small, and only two canes have fruit, but even so, there are a ton more future berries to come!

"Go All the Way" is a song written by #EricCarmen of American #rock group the #Raspberries, from their 1972 album #Raspberries. Released as a single in July 1972, the song reached the Top 5 on three principal US charts: number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100, number 4 on #Cashbox, and number 3 on #RecordWorld. The single sold more than 1.3 million copies, earning the band their only #certifiedGoldRecord. It was their second single release and their biggest US hit.

I took a 5 minute walk around our backyard just now and these are some of the things I saw. It's been a fairly successful year, even with the wonky weather.

Double harvest: #raspberries and #RenewableEnergy - #FruitLogistica

Excerpts: "Based on current findings, strawberries do not thrive under #SolarPanels, so this combination of crops does not have a promising future. This was the conclusion of a Wageningen University study on fruit cultivation beneath #photovoltaic systems.

Strawberries grown beneath solar panels with 25 to 50 per cent light transmission experienced a significant drop in yield – by 25 to 30 per cent.

The situation was quite different for raspberries, however: under solar panels with 40 per cent light transmission, the harvest yield fell by only five per cent, and the quality of the fruit remained unchanged. At the same time, the panels reduced evaporation and water consumption, protecting the berries from burns and heat peaks.

The scientists also expect positive effects on #WaterConsumption and protection against #ExtremeWeather conditions.

[...]

One clear advantage is that raspberries are currently grown under rain protection films that have to be replaced every five to seven years. This equates to a significant amount of plastic that would no longer be required if solar modules were used instead. And they last at least ten years."

"210 raspberry varieties were laid out in a grid of plastic pints. Some had been bred for visual appeal, with more shapely shoulders, uniform drupelets and less 'hair.' Others were developed to maximize yield, with fewer thorns and better 'plant architecture.'" —Julia Moskin for The New York Times https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/07/dining/driscolls-berries.html?src=longreads #food #fruit #farming #agriculture #berries #strawberries #raspberries #longreads

Traditional #Wojapi Recipe – #NativeAmerican Berry Sauce Made Simple

By Corinne Griffith
June 4, 2025

"Wojapi (pronounced WO-jah-pee) is a cherished Native American berry sauce rooted in #Lakota and #Dakota traditions. Made from wild berries and gently sweetened, this rich, velvety sauce was traditionally served with fry bread but today pairs beautifully with pancakes, yogurt, oatmeal, and even ice cream.Dairy & Eggs

"Whether you’re exploring Indigenous cuisine for the first time or rekindling a family favorite, this simple recipe is a perfect introduction to the beauty of ancestral cooking.

Why I Love This Recipe

"There’s a deep simplicity and warmth to Wojapi that makes it feel like a hug in sauce form. It’s naturally sweet, full of bold berry flavor, and comes together in minutes using fresh or frozen fruit. What I love most is that it’s endlessly versatile—use it as a topping, a dip, or even a glaze.

"It’s the kind of recipe you can make in one pot, with five ingredients or fewer, and still have something that feels rich with history and meaning. It has the same joyful, flexible vibe as Caramel Apple Nachos, but with deep cultural roots.

Ingredients

- 2 cups fresh or frozen berries
(traditional choices: #blueberries, #chokecherries, or #blackberries)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thicker consistency)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for brightness)

Optional Swaps & Tips

- Sweeteners: Maple syrup adds a subtle woodsy note, but honey is more traditional in some versions.
- Berries: Mix and match what you have. #Raspberries and #strawberries work too, but for authenticity, lean toward wild berries.
Cornstarch: Skip it for a thinner, more rustic sauce. Use it if you want a pudding-like consistency.
Citrus: A touch of lemon juice balances the sweetness and brings out the berry flavors."

"All by Myself" is a song by American singer-songwriter #EricCarmen, released by #AristaRecords in December 1975 as the first #single from Carmen's self-titled debut album. The verse is based on the second movement (Adagio sostenuto) of Russian composer #SergeiRachmaninoff's 1900–01 #PianoConcertoNo2InCMinor, Opus 18. The chorus was taken from the song "#LetsPretend", which Carmen had written and recorded with his band the #Raspberries in 1972.
