Come and dig as many plants as you want!
Member Jeff Roth is once again offering for Black Forest Garden Club members to visit his old property in Parker and dig out as many raspberry plants as we want.
This year's raspberry dig will be Tuesday evening May 14 from 5-7pm.
Bring your own pots and shovel; soil on property will be provided for free.
About the raspberry plants:
These are heirloom raspberries (also called heritage raspberries) that grow on the primocane (bear fruit on the current season's growth). They get cut back each fall and grow new canes the next spring that bear the fruit.
Heritage/heirloom varieties have been passed down through generations and are considered to be of historical or cultural significance.
Heritage raspberries are often prized for their unique flavor, texture, and appearance, and are sometimes more fragile than modern commercial varieties. They come in a variety of colors, including red, yellow, black, and purple.
Harvest begins in late summer and lasts until the first hard fall frost.
They make amazing jams, are beautiful in muffins, excellent in a cocktail, and also freeze well.
Location: Northeast corner of Hess and Motsenbocker Roads in Parker. We'll have the Garden Club sign out directing you where to turn in.
