Raspberries, moths, and toads


These raspberry canes are bearing fruit this summer! We dug them in Spring from a friend's place and planted them early- just after the last snow. Andy told me they would not fruit until next year, so we are pleasantly surprised. The variety is one of the "thornless," which really means that the thorns are more fuzzy than prickly.



This Luna moth (see size of doorknob for reference) didn't seem to mind the peeling paint on our garage door this morning. Looks as if his wings are still drying.


Toad buddy in the veg garden about the size of my palm. No pesticides=biodiversity and happy amphibians. He is crawling on cardboard that I use to keep weeds in check under the hardwood mulch.
