Our raspberries gave us quite a surprise this year. They have never bloomed before but we've had some cooler whether this year and they bloomed. Aren't they beautiful?
Our blackberries are starting to put on fruit. They certainly aren't as pretty right now as they were a few weeks ago when they had pretty white blooms but the fruit will be nice to have.
Our blueberries are also putting on fruit. We've put cages around them this year to protect them from the chickens.
We've known for a while that we have wild grapes growing all over the place, but most of the vines have not bloomed in the past. Last year we only got a handful of grapes which is why we planted ones we purchased this year. This is the second year that our trees have been cut and it looks like the grapes have finally gotten enough sun.
The huckleberries are also blooming and putting on fruit but my pictures didn't turn out of those. They are beautiful and have a peach/pink color.

Yay for berries!! Since our raspberries are new this year and the blueberries are only third year plants, I am doubting we'll get anything. Maybe a few small blueberries, but I'd be suprised. We hopefully will be swimming in strawberries though and our apple tree is blooming like never before, so I'm hoping that turns into fruit as well.
ReplyDeleteJenn, I'm soooo jealous of the apple tree. I want one sooo bad. I've having to be patient waiting for that one. You'll have to post pictures of the apple tree so I can live vicariously through you.
ReplyDeleteI think flowers and fruit at any stage is beautiful. You should have some good eating this year!
