We also grow Blackberries, elderberries and gooseberries.
A few black raspberries grow in our fence lines. I give the birds credit for seeding them.
The focus of our fruits still centers on the spring strawberry crop. Here are a few of our strawberry growing practices:
 |
 |
| We use a matted row system for growing strawberries because it has performed best for us. we spread rows 7' apart at planting. | Shredded newspaper serves as a mulch. this level is a little thick and should be raked mostly off in end of March. This is an older picture; more recently we returned to wheat straw. |
 |
 |
| Strawberries need water once they bloom in order to produce well. | Nothing beats hand cultivation and weeding...especially when you have plenty of hands. |
Strawberries are my favorite fruit. There is nothing to compare to a fresh berry. |
We will usually grow 2 to 3 varieties- All are good but there are better varieties for different purposes. |
Blueberries are my second favorite fruit. They are much easier to pick than strawberries and you can eat them by the handful without removing caps. |
On our Photo page Mandy is shown picking raspberries next to our grape arbor. Most of our vines are these Concord grapes shown here at a market. |
Blackberries have a flavor different and hard to describe. To complicate matters different blackberry varieties vary considerably in flavor. We grow a few bushes but depending on severity of winter weather our harvest varies. |
All of our jellies and jams are made from our fruit. If you like the full flavor of locally grown fruit you should like our preserves. |
|
We have a canopy for extending the raspberry season-seen here. The canopy frame is covered with a Agribon row cover and usually give reasonably good frost protection. Raspberries seem to never quit producing.
|
Red Raspberries are one of our most noted fruit crops since we usually have fruits being picked from early July through October -yes, October. Primocane fruiting varieties extend the season well past what many consider normal. New to the garden this year is a primocane fruiting Blackberry variety we are growing, Prime Ark. Watch for fruits from it in Summer
|
WE have close to 100 fruit trees including apples, pears and plums. To see more about them click TREE FRUITS. |
Our apple harvest. The past few years have not been great apple producing times but we will see how this year turns out. |
