Nature’s Bounty

I love this time of year. All kinds of wild edibles becoming ripe. Two days last week, I browsed for breakfast in my yard. I ate about a dozen small apples and 1 lb of blackberries, while getting a little vitamin D while we have some sun for a brief part of the year.

The apples are pretty much done, but there are more blackberries this week. This week’s rain seems to letting up for a couple days, and I’ve got space in the freezer. Yum.

Small but tasty apples.

I didn't even know I had this apple tree last year. Had to cut a 50 ft path trough blackberries to get to it.

Sigurd picking blackberries. I think he's part goat. I've seen him eat blackberry canes as well.

Just a few of the many, many, many blackberries in my yard.

  1. I’m totally jealous of your blackberries. We’re hoping to have our row of raspberries in by next year, and will be planting 2 fruit trees soon hopefully. Looking into maybe an apple and a pear tree. Exciting to grow your own food!
