    No fruit… yet. But I did pick up 2 grapes last year (end of year sale, $5 for the two – can’t beat those prices!), and this year: 2 rhubarb, 2 red currents, 1 white current, 3 blueberries, and 1 Concord grape. I still need black currents and highbush cranberries, and of curse, strawberries and raspberries. But still – I can’t wait to get the yard fenced (2 weeks or so, depending on weather), then I can plant. Then wait 🙂

    • Well, I don’t have any fruit yet but I do have live healthy plants, successful flowering and in some cases, itty bitty baby fruit but still I have a good overview of what will be providing fruit for use in their many forms.. Great buy on the grapes, like your new fruits, all of them will be producing some in their second year and goodly amount in the 3rd and then you will be able to make babies and get harvests for expanding in both ways 🙂

  2. Well, we found out that there are wild raspberries growing “in the bush” next to where Mr D works, and we’re welcome to go picking – does that count? 🙂 You have an amazing variety of fruit available – some that I’ve never heard of.

    • It counts, here is hoping that they are good size, wild fruit can go either way, so small as to only have a few rows to good size ones, some so sweet and full of flavour as to make you spend more time picking then normal or so sour as to pucker and make you spit LOL As for the fruits, I intend to have more, but its a good start now, we try and give ourselves at least a couple hundred dollar budget every single year for adding in more plants to the farm, plus what I get in plant free-cycle, plant swaps and freebie ditch digging..

    Wow…just bewildered and amazed at your organizational prowess. I’m thrilled when I can just get the stuff in our faces or freezer of canner. Not that I don’t value keeping track, just a tough task for me.

    • I need to keep track in the farm books so we can see from year to year the process that is made..but also the blog really helps with that, because it means that I can do it in smaller amounts, now that I have the first two done, it will be much easier to then add june, july, aug etc If I have to do the whole thing in Nov, it would be overwhelming like it was in 2010, and you just got what was planted, nothing more.. this way, baby steps lead up to me being able to keep up on it.
