Picked Not Quite, A Peck

Growth is crazy, with Raspberry canes everywhere, and intertwined. Painfully interesting. BUT, I can't prune jest yet, as there is tons of fruit on the bush.
Not sure if you know about Raspberry bushes, but the canes are either Primocanes, first year, or Floricanes, second year. After that, the cane dies off. For me, it's fairly easy to spot the dead, they are lifeless, pale wood coloured. Primocanes usually are green stalks, with zero fruit. Floricanes have a darker bark/wood look.
I've mentioned before, but bear with me for repeating! I typically bring in a bowl of berries, each morning, for daily eats, plus I take in some each day that are past their prime, or blemishes, to, too over ripe. these go into the freezer, for eventual Jam making, end of October.
Above: Raspberries, some ripe, some not yet, on Floricanes. note the darker stalk.

I will keep replanting this type of lettuce throughout the fall outside and eventually move the plantings to my indoor grow lights, for fresh grown greens and herbs throughout the dead of winter.
Below: The Brussels Sprouts are loving the cooler nights, as well!
