Raspberries are, like cherries, one of the transient crops that one savors each year when they are in season and then waits until they appear on the bush again next year.

It's hot and dry here in NW Arkansas. I am currently picking Kiwi Gold Raspberries and Triumph Strawberries. These ever bearing plants provide nice garden nibbles throughout the summer and fall.

I just picked two gallons of triple crown blackberries an hour ago before the next wave of rain comes. Easy to grow and huge yields. I'll air layer a few branches and plant more in a month.

It's also important to note that triple crowns are a thornless blackberry. They also make huge canes that can go out 20'. I grow them too and mine are just getting ripe.
