Can Not wait the berries are coming

 It is almost berry picking season while looking at our flowers to pick and make our jelly with I always check our berries and they are almost ready to start picking I can not wait for our summer picking to start this year. We have worked hard for our food forest and looking into what to help make it thrive.

Mulberry trees, we have 12 or so mature trees we pick from to make our jam with I also freeze these and put them in bread and muffins because they are tart .
These guys are gooseberry they turn a dark purple and almost taste like grapes, We love them in Jam and mixed in with apples. We have cultivated 3 big groves of these and are working on higher yields of these by giving them more sun and area to grow. This bush is in the chicken yard cause the ladies love them too.
More and more mulberry this one is in the creek and better for short pickers
These are the patches we are really working on this year we have 4 big groves of raspberries we are working on this year so we get more then we did last year and watching close so we pick for a longer season.
