Neighbor of ours has offered to propagate some cuttings from their various raspberry and other berry bushes. Quite excited. I've grown from seed and we get plenty of fruit but it's always nice to have more variety. Also the fact it costs next to nothing compared to paying $3-5 for a small box to a pound of it.
There's maybe 40-50 lb of frozen berries, discounting strawberries in the chest freezer. Quite sick of having smoothies daily at this point. And before anyone recommends it, already made multiple clafoutis, sauces, BBQ and chili sauce, eaten fresh, jams and preserves, etc.
Not as bad as when I was growing 10 papaya trees because I overestimated how much we'd consume that damn stuff.

Joking aside, I long ago got the feeling you're running your own thing where you are now and not working for someone else. Do you not want to retire because you're afraid of your hard work going up in smoke because the person you sold it to or handed it to messed up? Or do you not see a purpose in retiring?
I can't see myself retiring because of the above reasons, also enjoy having control over things and also my home improvement projects can be a bit too much.
