It sure is lovely to have some warmer weather, but of course today we have rain, which is OK as I have had some kind of tummy bug all week, so have not felt up to going out in the garden. In answer to your question about raspberries, no I do not have any growing but am considering finding a place to grow a few. Have a nice weekend, I think we are in for a little sunshine.Jennifer AKA keeweehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16107693230744190952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685430032033752352.post-57589985341395365972012-04-19T17:36:37.411-07:002012-04-19T17:36:37.411-07:00You know my Mom grew strawflowers when I was a chi...You know my Mom grew strawflowers when I was a child and I sort of forgot about them...
