A little bounty from today.
Here's hoping that you're all eating a little fresh food with lots of trace minerals still in it!!

Wow eKat, we have to start calling you Tomato Woman, your Indian name.
Not Blackberries, but really good Mulberries!
Will post up more bounty as the season goes!
Steve and Tinker, My sisters and other relatives have been complaining about the rain up in the Northwest for weeks.
NM is good for a few things, heh heh......

I like to combine wild blueberries (flavourful) with store-bought ones (sweet). A good mix. But then, I eat a lot of fruit.

A mixed year.
The cool wet start did in my tomatoes with fungal diseases and I had to tear them out and start over. The corn took of really slow also.
Damn global warming!
Good for the berries though. I've got 10 gallons of Boisen berries and a gallon of raspberries in the freezer so far.

Yeah girl, and we have already ripped out a couple rows to start the next crop as you can see!
You can also see why I needed that big ladder eh?? Those Apricot trees are 30-40 ft tall!
I could grow some serious medical herb scrips here!!!

EKAT: Sounds like it is morel-hunting time for you!
For the non-initiated: morel = super-yummy mushroom. They are difficult (but not impossible) to mistake for poisonous mushrooms. Morels like pine-forest areas with disturbed, from logging or fires, soils.

hey there survival and all... oh my, in my dreams, only... :(
but i am patient... perhaps years from now, i will once again get my wonderful turn...
i actually DID get to get a small pot of tomatoes last year, with a donated plant... AND some donated brocolli from a gal across the street, so i had a fun time with that...
what i DO HAVE however, i will soon post:
i haveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee taaadaaaa... :)
the ever wonderful milkweed plant!!!
well---if you don't eat too much of it, you actually CAN make soup from the pods, which i did once, from an old aneeshnaabee lady's "kind of" recipe...
but---- what i mean to be so very happy about is this:
the flowers of the milkweed smell so very sweet and lovely... especailly come near evening... the are a fist sized ball, of many spiked buds...
can you IMAGINE the wonderful joy the deer must have this time of year, romping the fields and smelling this over the pine trees...
heavenly.... (i used to SEE where they bedded down, under these milkweed areas, when i used to live across town, near to the woods... )...
well, i have this, around my pond, as i transplanted them, but--all around here, the natural land, eases in, anyways... but i miss the other side of town, however...
well, i will post some pics of my pond area, a little tiny tub sized patch of dirt... if i get a job by next year, i could plant veggies, but there really is not much sun at all.. would have to have moveable push carts, etc....
but i will try to go gather black and blue berries, soon...
*this was my punch line, you all... ;)
well, i will be back later, tonight or morning, with the neat pics...
wow, have fun cooking and eating all this stuff...
oh, say, tinker b... i DO have mint (love mint) :)... but these last two years, it keeps turning DARK spotted on the ends... :( do you know why???
well, all for now... :)

hey there say, captain... or skully... :)
say, yes, i love it... use it for tea, too...
say, do YOU have any idea why my patch is getting dark speckles on the leaves... ?
it is a new patch, transplanted from the grandkids house... growing faster this year... but this year, far worse, than last year, it is getting kind of ruined, before i can use it...
have you ever seen this... i will try to post a picture later, when i post the other pics...
got to work on my "project" first though, or i will get behind on a goal...
wow, thanks for the share...always nice to hear from you...
wow, better to have miles of mint, i reckon, than miles of
poison ivey, huh... :) :)

Well, actually, there's miles of THAT, too. (dammit!)
I dunno about spots, though. It's wetter there, though, maybe?
Moldiness can kill plants in a lotta ways. Just guessin'.........

neebs,
There is always a greenhouse or nursery nearby that will tell you what is wrong with your plant, if you take them a sample.
They will always tell you about a fix also.
Thanks for posting.

Ekat: I grew up hunting morels and gradually expanded to a few other "hard to mis-identify-----and die" mushrooms. Even took a course once.
It is best to go out with a local----after studying a book on the subject.
I agree, it is a scary subject, for those that don't know.
