Hi ALL!
Chokecherries!!! Yep! That's it! I knew it was something I should know!
I've probably picked 1000 lbs over the years! I just haven't been able to for the 10 yrs. or so
Thanks so much to those who tried!
Judge... nice garden! What is that stuff between the plants? I don't see it in my garden. I think I remember bits of it when we planted ours but it's all plants (of some type) now.
12 years and this is the first year you picked currents?
You don't realize how lucky you are to have a bush that old! There was a blight that wiped out most of the currant and gooseberry in the (I think) '70s. Almost all of the were gone from around here (and most of eastern states) for years. Took quite awhile to reestablish them.
Jim... Welcome to the world of smileys!
FT... Not sure about joining the support group. It's not that my DH tries to fix things and makes them worse or doesn't get it back together, matter of fact, best not to let him try! Anyway, the problem with him is all he has to do is try to operate something and it breaks!!! In the last couple of years he's broke 2 garden tractors, 2 lawn mowers, a tiller and a snow blower. Plus almost everything we had to barrow because everything we had was broke! The man has really bad mechanical mojo!
I love most of my "boys" (roosters and Toms)! I have that one d@mn Dom rooster that's been charging me and really P!ss!ng me off! (He will be dinner when young son has time to do the deed) Anyway, I was out this afternoon and "demon bird" took a run for me... George (head roo) headed him off and gave him a good one! I headed for the coop and "demon bird" was eying me up, George was eying him up! Then the 2 Toms shuffled in front and behind me! I had guards!!! Walked right past him and he was froze solid until I was well past! Then the Toms escorted me to the garden and George made sure that roo was well away from me!
The other 4 roos won't stand up to him, but they are friendly enough to me.
Well, a few things to do before bed so I better get to them.... Night All!
