"Well--I hope everyone on here is ramping up their garden plans for this
year. I doubled the size of the garden last year and would like to do that
again before the end of the summer. Also added chickens and a separate plot
for food and medicinal herbs. Wish I'd made more of an effort last year to
process the abundant wild foods--blackberries, autumn olives and 
persimmons.
Got a few buckets of blackberries, but that was all, won't make that 
mistake
again."

Liz, we have autumn olives around here too; they are invasive weeds. 
What do you do to prepare them?
