Looks greatThe strawberries are now done and the cherries are beginning.
Despite this year's snow, we're getting a decent amount of cherries. Today's harvest from our one bush was 9.2 lbs. It started with our kids and then some more neighbor kids came to help. They soon learned the fun of spitting pits and marking each other with cherry juice. Boys!

Our cherries finish up by July 4th..... but that's when the raspberries and blueberries will start.
The cherries are out front, so chickens have no access. (The chickens do get to the raspberries and some blueberries, so we must share those. LOL) The wild birds don't seem to bother with the cherries. Perhaps it's the location (near a street and busy sidewalk) or the variety (more of a tart cherry) or simply birds don't eat fruit with pits.Looks great
Surprised the birds left you any
I'm jealous of all the berries. Since we just started our strawberry patch this year and got it in a bit late, we don't have many strawberries to show this year. The kids each got one strawberry the other day. There's a few more out there developing I think, but we are not expecting a big harvest. Hoping the plants grow well though and come back next year for a good harvest.The strawberries are now done and the cherries are beginning.

There's 4 mulberry trees in the poultry yard. One all the wildlife clean it up first. Then they may or not get the others. I read there's different varieties that look the same.Funny because @homeschoolin momma also has a mulberry tree and her chickens don't really eat them.
Well, we did cheat a little on the strawberries. The ones from home were eaten daily. Then we went strawberry picking up in Janesville, WI. About 16 lbs were brought home. We shared 6 lbs with family and neighbors and then froze the rest for strawberry goodness year-round.I'm jealous of all the berries.
