Question of the Week:
“I know that you’re a fellow raspberry fan and hope you can help me. I was picking loads of berries this past fall, but unfortunately, they all had little white worms in them. I’m wondering which insect is the culprit and what I must do to try and save the next harvest. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.”
