Loving this foraging series, @coffeetime. When I was young, my favorite Summer/Fall pasttime was picking black raspberries in the woods; only the kids were willing to put up with the thorns! We'd bring 'em back by the bushel and my mom would bake them into muffins and pies. Good times.

Now I've got a few acres of my own and a much smaller black raspberry patch, but the land is abundant with wild raspberries, strawberries, onions, and the occasional edible mushroom. The raspberry patch looks like it was cultivated by someone decades ago and has just continued on its own.
