Late Season Anomaly.

It's almost October and we still have raspberries.

Several years ago my parents planted a raspberry bush in their backyard. It provides a nice crop every summer. But in the last few years I've noticed that their raspberry bush produces a second, much smaller crop in the fall. Two years ago I picked ripe raspberries as late as mid-November.

I'm not sure how unusual this is, but I'm happy to have fresh berries any time of the year.
