Raspberries, blueberries, oh my!

We will be picking these berries for the next 3 weeks

 And our marion and boysen berries are starting to turn red, so they are close behind. We hope to start picking them around July 1-4.

 And the best picking for these black berries is the first 7-10 days of picking.

Don't be late and miss out!

And sadly, the strawberries are finished for the summer.

They will be back next June.

Yummy Goodness!

This frozen delight will be very refreshing at about 3 o'clock this afternoon.

I popped these in the freezer last night with very simple ingredients.

Before I began, I measured the amount of liquid I would need to fill my four cups.

It measured to 1 1/3 cups of filling.

Next, I measured 1 cup of lemon yogurt

1/4 cup smashed raspberries

1/4 cup smashed blueberries.

Divide the yogurt into 3 equal parts.

Mix each berry type into one of the yogurts.

Fill the Popsicle cups 1/3 full with the raspberry mixture.

Place into freezer for 10 minutes to allow the first layer to firm slightly.

Layer the plain lemon yogurt on top of raspberry layer and top with the blueberry yogurt mixture.

Place the center stick into the pop and freeze until firm, or overnight.

And this is what came out of the freezer this morning!

I was tempted to eat it this morning but my husband convinced me to wait.

But I took one bite...see if he notices.

Enjoy!

The raspberries are ready!

Look what we picked last night!

Today we opened our raspberry fields for picking. 

The price for u-pick is $1.95 a pound.

The price for ready picked fruit is $3.00 a pound.

We will be picking raspberries through the end of July.

We are still picking strawberries too, although it is getting to the end of strawberry season. I am thinking that this weekend, June 23-24, will be the last for strawberries.

Blueberries are not to far behind... maybe by June 26th. They need more sunshine to sweeten up.
