Berries have been gorgeous this year, at home and roadside. These blackberry vines were just loaded! A crisp ensued. Summer happiness.

Big juicy blackberries, ready to pick.

I fertilized the blueberry bushes at the right time this spring, and I wasn’t stingy. They really liked it. These are almost the size of a quarter. We use mosquito netting and clothespins to close up the edges because the birds would eat them all. I think a pie is in our future.

The cotoneaster berries are super red this year. Birds and photographers love their winter redness. Note: this plant has an extremely weird pronunciation. You might think it was “cotton Easter,” but no. It’s actually pronounced cuh-tone-ee-AST-er. Isn’t that something?

This year for the first time we have golden raspberries! They are not as tangy, very sweet, and ripen earlier than our red ones. A win!

I know it’s not the Christmas season anymore, but on a walk around the neighborhood these looked so fine.

Well, the birds got all the cherries, but we are having better luck with the berries.

Today was the day for picking fruit in our backyard. The netting on the cherry tree worked! We have a 5-graft tree from Raintree Nursery, and this is the tree’s third year. The boysenberries are good this year, too. The raspberries not so much, and the blueberries are just getting going. What treasure!

Clockwise from upper left: Boysenberries, Montmorency cherries, dark cherries, other dark cherries and Rainier cherries, blueberries and raspberries.
