We may not be harvesting enough to make pies, but every day Frank and I collect a few handfuls of berries from the back garden: strawberries and mulberries in pretty much equal measure. Right now we’re getting about 100 grams of each daily and the quantity is only improving. Amazingly, so is the quality. These berries are sweeter, juicier and tastier than anything we can buy.
Not only do we get a nice harvest for dessert or an afternoon snack, we’re also doing a fair bit of grazing. I can’t think of a better way to start the day than to let the chickens out of their run and then to stand under the mulberry tree popping berries in my mouth. Frank learned the hard way not to drop a berry – the chooks are quick off the mark and they love berries of every description.

Strawberries are out of season in England. I still have autumn raspberries. Blackberries are still available in hedgerows. Anyway, I like the blog and nice harvest!
Berries don’t grow well in Sydney. It’s too hot and we have no winter. That doesn’t stop me from trying. I have blueberries (never eaten one) and this year I finally have a respectable strawberry crop. I’ve got native raspberries in the ground and I have high hopes for them.
I was in England a few years ago visiting a friend. We went into the forest and harvested a bucketful of blackberries. I can still taste the jam when I close my eyes. I’m quite sincerely jealous!
Hey, you don’t have a winter – I am more jealous of you. Lets do a life-swap! 🙂
In June – you betcha!
You’re on!
