Nothing like home grown fruit and vegetables. Unfortunately, our beans died in the heatwave. All seems a distant memory now as it is going to be 1c tomorrow here in the south east!

how lovely. I have always wondered why a berry would be called a Rasp though- its a weird word isn't it. And don't they have pips? can they be grown from them? CB

Etymology. Raspberry derives its name from raspise, "a sweet rose-colored wine" (mid-15th century), from the Anglo-Latin vinum raspeys, or from raspoie, meaning "thicket", of Germanic origin. The name may have been influenced by its appearance as having a rough surface related to Old English rasp or "rough berry". |
