I've just picked my first (and only) fruit from all the trees/bushes I
planted this spring.
I got about 3/4 cup of red currants from a Red Start Currant that I dug
from Sam Brungardt's garden early this spring. (Thanks Sam!) I also
got about 6 gooseberries from a bareroot Hinkomaki Gooseberry planted
this spring as well. We added about 1 1/4 cup of Saskatoons (June
berries) I had picked from a friend's tree and 1 1/2 cup sugar to make a
really great syrup which we will have on our pancakes this weekend... ;-))
