At the farmer's market we're getting peaches and plums, and early apples. Our own apples are a late variety and they're really best after a frost, anyhow. But we'll have a big crop (after losing last year's entire crop to the late spring freeze).
And the vegies are all coming out of the garden now, except for onions and garlic.
Sounds similar to blackberries? I never did quite figure out the difference amongst mulberries, blackberries...and now black raspberries. My partner makes a wonderful blueberry salad dressing...it has abit of yogurt in it. He sometimes varies it with cranberries.


Hey, yea Grog people tell me there are some secret blueberry bushes somewhere out in the lowlands there.. We're starting to freeze some 'cause certain the prices won't stay that low. But I haven't picked wild blueberries yet..

In the women's cycling group that I belonged to ages ago, we organized some rides, where 1 of the rides was 60 kms. that included a strawberry picking farm outside of Toronto.

I know, I know this sounds so unlike what bike roadies would do.
Who cares...gain strength from hauling a couple lbs./kgs. of fresh strawberries homeward. Which is what my partner and I did do for 2 early summers ..along with picking fresh snowpeas.
