    I always look forward to the first cropping from my fruit trees or bushes. They simply taste sooo good. :D

    Living in the shade of 50 oak trees is not berry advantagous, however, I do have a low bush blueberry with about 100 flowers. When the time is right it will be a race between the birds and me as to who gets the spoils. Otherwise it's off to a farmer down the road to pick berries of whatever season.

    Yummy ! :) What kind of berries are they ? I sure hope my black raspberries and strawberries do not get eaten by my horse or the birds before I get some. She is after the little green peaches on my peach tree too.

    the strawberries are the honeoye variety. Because they bloom so early, we have to cover them every year to protect them from the frost at least a couple of times.
