    Things melt faster now. You can lose a pint of berries overnight. Plant your own. We’re on 75 strawberry plants with 30 more fridged for next year. Recommend Hoods. They’re the strawberriest of strawberries. Small, but punchy with flavor. Low maintenance. They spread like weeds.

    Raspberries are weeds. You can plant them in a giant pot or raised bed and prune them.

    I’ve given up on garlic, as another example, planting a raised bed of the stuff instead. That stuff used to be good for a couple weeks. Now, it disintegrates in days.

    This is just another way to steal our money. Selling us the trash produce they used to throw out.

      I unexpectedly happen to have a raspberry shrub. Tastiest raspberry ever, no work other than picking and pruning (once a year, super easy).
