Ramblings of a rural(ish) geek

I've gotten a few berries out of the patch, but mostly the birds or ants have gotten them, or they've rotted on the vine in the rain. I wasn't able to do the fall garden work that I usually do, so this year is a bit sparse. I picked the ripe ones while I was weeding, and there were a few more that would have been ripe yesterday, but it rained all day. They may have ripened, but it's too wet to check. I'll wait for the dew to dry off, and then check the status of the gardens -- everything is soaking wet right now.
