Home grown #raspberries !!
We got our first harvest of 3 berries on the first of September, then another harvest of 3 a few days ago. And now this!!
So exciting!!Out plant is still quite small, and only two canes have fruit, but even so, there are a ton more future berries to come!

#Blueberry plants are the one berry I don't have on my property (we have #Blackberries, #Raspberries, and #WildStrawberries). I'm going to grow the blueberries in containers for now, but once they get big enough, I'll add them to my mini #FoodForest!

I spent a little time *weeding* in the backyard #FoodForest. And by weeding, pretty much pulling out the few patches of #OrientalBittersweet that were still around. With both #WildStrawberries and #Raspberries growing in that spot, there will be plenty of berries to go around -- just not invasive ones! And yeah, Oriental Bittersweet is something one has to pull up by the roots, and then burn them. I've pretty much eradicated it from two spots in my backyard, but I'll have to keep on top of looking out for it until other plants take over!
What is the best least toxic way to get rid of Oriental Bittersweet without using #Roundup

Excerpt: "The root stock is the bigger problem. Generally, chemical intervention is the preferred method at that point, but I understand and respect your efforts to keep away from pesticides. What you’re then looking at is conscientious removal of new shoots as they emerge from the root stock; it will take several seasons, but with diligence you can eventually starve out the underground portions of the plant. Take special care to inspect the area around the roots/new shoots, as the plant can spread underground and you want to make sure it isn’t sneaking a shoot up a nearby tree without you noticing."

So, this may look like a bunch of weeds to some folks, but this is actually a budding #FoodForest in my backyard (in between the barn and our gray "garage"). There is #MilkThistle, #Raspberries, #Burdock, and the little white flowers near the ground are the #WildStrawberries I planted in that spot last year that not only took, but spread! Yay!
