Wednesday we traveled just over an hour to pick four pails of raspberries from the excess in my SIL's garden (Bless you, Diana!). We are so grateful for this good food! This Fall, we intend to plant raspberries & strawberries - they should be bearing right here @ Klasse Woods in a couple years. Oh-h, that will be so nice!
Grapes are on our want list also (hopefully this Fall also).
And asparagus (next spring?).
Perhaps more currants (our one small bush yielded one soup bowl full - we enjoyed it as a sauce on pancakes @ breakfast Monday morning).
In the future, we hope to provide our CSA garden customers with a fruit basket as well as a vegetable basket.
I think the asparagus is an excellent idea, as it would help fill out those early baskets when not much else is ready. (I think it's a three-year wait between planting and harvest though, no? Do we reeeeeally have to wait that long?) What about apples?
ReplyDeleteYeah, waiting is the hard part -- that's why I reeeeally want to get it all in now ... like "yesterday", LOL!
ReplyDeleteApples? We'll be planting apples too - do you know a good variety?
We'll show you our orchard area when you come out.
