A final #foraging count from one week in the dunes: 1.5 gal (5.6 L) of wild cranberries, but zero, as in not a single beach plum (whereas last year in the same location I harvested 16 lb of beach plums). If I were still a mushroomer, there would be a hundred pounds of boletes. #ptown #ProvinceLands #NationalSeashore #Cranberries #BeachPlums #mushrooms

Ok, no cranberries this afternoon because my favorite bog was flooded. But, I spotted beach plum drops, all dried, of course, but where there are drops, it is worth a closer look.

left picture: the terrible, pitiful plants that had fruit

middle picture: descent plums still on very scrubby plants

right picture: 795 cleaned beach plums as a total harvest today! So very happy!

You'll need to open on large device or Zoom on this.

From my hike in the dunes today, a panorama view with the Atlantic behind me. Race Point Coast Guard Station is on the left, Pilgrim Tower that is in center of PTown is visible, and off to the right is Race Point Light.

Went looking for beach plums and tarantulas, but found none of either. So, spent time collecting photos of some of the colors of the dunes which will get posted to this thread.

Foraged in the dunes for several hours, Herring Cove to Race Point. Blue skies, moderate temps, sea breeze, birds, and solitude. The only thing missing? Beach plums - this may be another of those years when there just aren't any. However, I know other places to check, and more than once, I've found a bush loaded with several pounds of fruit. #hiking #foraging #BeachPlums #cranberries #ProvinceLands

Lastly - the canned product. I made 12 half-pints, most of which will be given to friends and family, plus a 10 Oz jar for personal use, starting with dinner tonight. #BeachPlums #jam

It's time to make beach plum jam from the beach plums that I foraged last fall. I have 3.5 kg of frozen beach plums. Product pics later. #BeachPlums #jam #foraging #CapeCod #NationalSeaShore
