Cross Posted to The Garden Thread. Thanks!

My small Strawberry patch is done for the season. Hascaps (Honeyberry) and wild Black Cap Raspberries are ripening, as are the Cherries, which are up next in the rotation. Apples, Peaches and Pears look like they will be in abundance this season; we had a perfect Spring with no late frosts/freezes.

Just carrying on the tradition. Wish I could have an Avocado tree. ;)

What did people eat before there was abundant fruit? I’m guessing meat.

Our orchard plants two varieties of strawberries, and the second kind is in for probably another week. These berries are so much better than the store kind. They’re red all the way through, not white in the middle. Every nibble is scrumptious. Also pick your own raspberries is in full swing there. Hopefully till the first week of July, when my son, DIL, and 2 grandsons (ages 4 and 16 months) come to visit.
