Fruit Season

Hello,



Strawberries, blueberries, grapes, bananas, mangos, and cherries make for a great day with flavors and colors that delight. What wonders money can buy.



Leroy and I keep watching the mulberry trees for signs of growth of new fruits as well as the few black raspberry bushes that we see along our closest trail. In a month we should have some possibilities of handfuls and more.



Yesterday on our county park walk we checked out the black raspberry patch. The area where we usually picked is just filled with old unproductive canes. There were a few along the trail, but not many. Black berries were there, but again not plentiful. Also somehow we do not seem to know when the black berries are ripe.



Last year one of my co workers was gone for this time and we had an abundance of strawberries to pick. That was a treat indeed.



We will soon be able to pick some service berries at a friend’s house. I am looking forward to that. Organic and fresh! What more could we ask for?
