Mmmm, raspberries

On Tuesday and Thursday evenings I picked a total of almost 3 quarts of raspberries from the garden.

Today I passed a house selling fresh picked raspberries for $3/pint. If I do the math correctly (which is highly suspect), I would say I picked almost $18 worth of raspberries. The raspberry bushes have been in the garden for quite a few years so there is no yearly cost for seed or plants, we don’t weed the bushes so there’s no work there, and all we do is pick the berries if the birds and Japanese beetles don’t beat us to them.

There is a school of thought that would suggest $3 a pint for raspberries to be cheap - especially if one did not have to pick them themselves.
