Most of our good patches were on power lines and got ran over by the crews fixing wires.   [Reply]  [No Email]

My garden looks terrible from the drought. If I get any tomatoes from the garden it will be later. Sure glad I'm not back on the farm. Your garden is producing well. Hal   [Reply]  [No Email]

They look like the ones in the photo, they get about the size of your thumbnail, they're sweet and juicy---my favorite of any berry, bar none. They ripen in mid-May, and they grow wild on vines that run close to the ground. The best ones are usually hidden under the vines, down in the grass. About a month later we have blackberries----also wild, but they grow up on canes. Big as your pinkie nail, and tart. Just wondering how of you folks have dewberries, and far north they grow.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Those look great. Guess I should have explained the berries. They are tame berries that my cousin has in his garden. They were watered. Our wild ones didn't do much around here either do to the lack of rain. -steve PS: my wife is a pretty good pie maker! ;-) This post was edited by Steve Sewell at 19:30:48 07/22/12.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Now a month ago we where picking a gallon a day or more and I will be doing some black berry jam in the next few week I hope. Just did 10.5 pints of jalapeno jelly today   [Reply]  [No Email]

Only thing worth talking about for our garden is the tomatoes. However the fruit trees have done really well. Crabapples are getting close- will make some good wine.   [Reply]  [No Email]
