There's a farm not far from where I live where you can go pick strawberries (in season, of course). I used to pick wild raspberries and blackberries when I lived in the Northern part of the US. Watch out for those thorns, though! Blueberries are good, too. Mmmmm, blueberry muffins. :) Jill |

I don't like watermelon, cantaloupe or honeydew. Oranges are okay if you can get the bitter white pith off when you peel them. I use canned mandarin oranges in a marinade for grilled pork. Sometimes I eat them as a snack. Jill |

There are those that I like but can't eat, those that I like but have trouble getting nice and fresh and ripe and those I like but which are outrageously expensive. I eat a banana just about every day. I also eat a lot of strawberries. I love oranges but they disagreed with my digestive system for so many years that I tend to avoid them. I really really like mangoes but they are very expensive here and they are usually far from ripe and never ripen properly. Frankly, I am better off buying frozen mango. It is usually sort of being ripe but it is much cheaper and there is so much less waste. |

I guess I'll have to go with raspberries, always been a favourite and we've been eating tons of them for the past couple of months.

My best friend has gone semi-commercial with raspberries so I don't bother growing them myself. I want to get some Loganberry vines this year and really need to get more serious about blueberries, which is also a big favourite of mine. |

Then, one winter, it was so wet for so > long that the roots must have rotted and the plants all died. My dad used to grow raspberries. He started with just a plant or two and soon they took over his yard. They're darned hard to get rid of too! For years, in season, I took home more than I knew what to do with. I was having to find creative ways to use them. No one in the family liked jam. At least not raspberry jam and really we didn't eat enough of any jam to bother with making it. I was kind of glad when he finally managed to get rid of all the plants. I don't really dislike the things but I don't want to have to eat them every day. And that's what I was doing because I didn't have a lot of money in those days so free food was good food for me. |

Yes, they were always popping up in the lawn, a metre or more away from their parents. I just kept mowing them down when I'd mow the grass. It felt like a shame, but I didn't want to replace the lawn with a raspberry plantation. -- Bruce |

I can get farm fresh fruits in season from my neighbours; sweet cherries, sour cherries, raspberries, strawberries, back currants, peaches, pears, apples, apricots, plums. Any time I get the urge to relocate I think about how I would miss those things. |
