  1. And this explains why we’re not getting many raspberries this summer.

  2. 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.

  3. The rain let up for a while this afternoon, so we were able to get down to pick raspberries and corn for dinner. We're now in to the third planting and have topped the 200 mark for ears eaten this season. More coming!

  4. "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.

  5. BeetBear and I spent some time this afternoon picking more raspberries to have with dinner tonight. He's good at getting in to the ones I can't quite reach. Also had our 12th cornfest meal with another 10 nice ears of the Flagler.😀 🌽

  7. 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."

  8. "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 nytimes.com/2026/07/07/dining/ #food #fruit #farming #agriculture #berries #strawberries #raspberries #longreads

  9. What Is #Cyclosporiasis?

    Cyclospora cayetanensis is a single-celled parasite that infects the small intestine. Unlike bacteria that cause food poisoning within hours, #Cyclospora takes about 7 days after exposure to make you sick.

    This matters because: if you ate something 12 hours ago and got sick, it’s not Cyclospora.

    Key Takeaways

    - 843 confirmed cases across 31 US states (CDC, July 9). Michigan alone has 1,562
    - No source identified — FDA investigation ongoing. No recall issued
    - #Raspberries are high-risk — the parasite gets trapped in microscopic hairs on the fruit. Washing does NOT remove it
    - Standard stool tests miss it — you must specifically ask for Cyclospora testing
    - Key clue: symptoms come and go in waves for weeks (relapsing-remitting pattern)
    - Treatable — Bactrim (TMP-SMX) for 7-10 days works

  10. Three good things for #Friday:

    1. Feeling good about really being heard by people I count on to keep my life going.

    2. Heard from a friend I haven't seen in ages, asking if we can meet up and talk about a geeky #materials topic.

    3. #Garden is doing its thing, giving #raspberries and #poppies in abundance.

  11. Picked those blackberries, 9 lbs / 4.1 kg. There was also 4.7 lbs / 2.1 kg raspberries (not all shown), and 3.6 lbs / 1.6 kg of blueberries.

  12. Delighted to find raspberries on a hike the other day. My own got torched by the heatwave.

    (But this was miles away and I had nothing to collect them in..)

    So we checked out closer spots this evening, where I've found raspberries in past years.

    No 2 delivered!

  13. We have a bumper crop of raspberries. This is just the start. We're eating fresh and freezing the rest. #food #raspberries #homegrown #berries #fruit #photography
