Dr. Bashioum’s Garden: Raspberries
July 27th, 2013
Time to pick more black raspberries in my garden and it’s been a good growing season for them this year. I made jam last weekend, and while it takes a little work, we can enjoy it all winter long. Golden raspberries are next to ripen, followed by some early varieties of apples. The French melons continue to limp along, so time will tell if we will enjoy one of the tastiest of the unusual fruits in my garden!
Friday Photo: Woodland Strawberries
July 12th, 2013
Those of you who follow my “Friday Photos” might remember that I enjoy growing unusual fruits and vegetables in my Wayzata garden. It’s the season now for the tiny white fraise de bois or woodland strawberries. Since they are so small, it takes considerable effort to gather a bowlful, but the reward is worthwhile. They are really delicious and too fragile to ever be found in the market. The white strawberries (actually yellowish), can be seen in my garden photo here.
