Grapes, plums, berries and pie

Summer is moving along and I'm starting to see some fruit. After several years of languishing, the grape vine has sent a goodly number of bunches this year. I may get enough to make grape jelly!

The plum trees we put in two years ago have also set some fruit for the first time and I counted four plums on the bigger trees. We'll see how many make it to autumn.

The raspberry apocalypse has begun and we're starting to pick about half a gallon a day, That will likely ramp up to a gallon a day by next week.

We also have a nice showing of dayliles.

I spent some time this week picking saskatoons. With the rhubarb also ready, Jenn and I decided to make pie.

The results were delicious! And I will be definitely be canning one pie filling this summer for a winter treat.

Jess is also back from the north and has brought with her a litre of Saskatoon juice from rending the berries to extract the seeds. I think we'll make jelly with it.
