Spring Update

Spring is here and everything is blooming!

These are the Honey Berries. 

Apparently, 

Honey Berries are like blueberries, 

they like to have friend plants nearby.

I only have one plant 

because I ended up not liking the fruit...

Raspberry Short Cake...

mmMMmm...

These produce the largest best tasting raspberries ever!

I'm definitely adding a couple more bushes to my collection this year.

Gooseberries. Every year these berries come back 

with such vigour! I love it!

Blueberries...

blueberries...

Peach Sorbet Bluberries...

More 2nd year Peach Sorbet Blueberries...

2nd year of Jelly Bean Blueberries.

Unlike the Peach Sorbet, 

I don't think this one is going produce fruit this year...

and... 

Grapes! 

Aren't they just the cutest when the leaves are just blooming.

i repeat... honeyberries are not blueberries

Upon reading the plant label and feeling a sense of adventure, I purchased a honeyberry plant. Thinking that it was going to be a sweet berry similar to blueberries with a hint of honey, I waited patiently for the fruit to ripen.

Popping a couple in my mouth... I discovered honeyberries are NOT blueberries.

Don't be fooled by their dark plum like skin, and their innocent berry shape. They are not, I repeat not blueberries.

Once I let them ripen more on the plant (until the end of the summer) they were okay... not the best fruit, but once you mix 'em in with other berries are bearable...

Silver lining: The leaves are velvety soft and oh so puuuurty
