September Raspberries

I was surprised to find five perfect raspberries on one of the new plants in the backyard in late September. I was shocked when I saw more raspberries on the same plant in early November. We had a frost last night, so I'm going to assume the raspberry bushes are now getting the hint. But these five little beauties were a tart little taste of summer right as the season was waning in earnest. I didn't eat the November raspberries, leaving those instead for the animals, or to go to seed.
