Oh, what a great article! Those ducks on the slide were precious--I've never seen anything like it, and if I had ducks, I'd want to have something like that for their entertainment...as well as mine!

The other day, I was reading about raspberries--I really love them, but don't love the idea of huge canes and thorns, so I had no intention of growing them, but then I found that there is a little 3x3 shrubby raspberry that is thornless called "Bushel and Berry Raspberry Shortcake." I ordered some to try out. Have you had any experience with these?
I also ordered a heartnut and a butternut tree. I have four hazelnuts, but wanted to broaden the selection of nuts and I am loving the idea that heartnuts only grow to about 20' tall. I also got a nut catcher tool to pick them up. (Wishful thinking; I know I'll need to wait a number of years before it will be used for picking up nuts.) I guess it will also pick up things like fallen apples and pears, so it should get some use before then. In the interim, maybe I'll see if Middlebury College has any butternut trees!
