Summer Pleasure

Long ago, Raspberry Avdotya's Day (Avdotya-Malinovka) was celebrated on the 4th of August in Russia. At that time raspberries ripened in the gardens and in the woods.
Raspberries can be red, white or black. Raspberry canes in the woods are property of the brown bears. As soon as this juicy sweet berry is ripe, the bear enjoys eating it. It isn't worth a good idea disturbing it at this time.:-)
As for me I prefer to gather pick raspberries in the from (my) garden/(orchard). Big sweet berries are so tasty! Raspberries can be used to cook jam or compote.
A drink made of dried raspberries cures cold.
This summer raspberried ripened earlier than usual in our region and I don't have to wait till August.
It's me gathering/picking raspberries in our garden.

Hope you got the corrections.Please make sure that you pluralize a noun if you are using it to express as a vast number or if you are using it for a huge even.

Eg: You can say "5th August is World Dog Day" like you said "Raspberry Avdotya's Day"

but

You have to say "The dogs all over the world celebrate it" the same way you said "At that time raspberries ripe in garden......"

And use the article "the" only if you are sure of the noun you are using it for.

Let me know incase you didn't understand my corrections.
