Various berries harvested late July at home in the Edible Garden and in the Væres Venner Community Garden. More information in the picture captions. These were either eaten fresh for breakfast with muesli or were made into mixed fruit leather!
Mulberries (morbær) from a tree planted 15 years ago, received as Morus alba “Rubra” – these had started dropping from the tree!
Saskatoons / blåhegg – Amelanchier sp. ;this year the birds left a good number of berries for us – the thrushes and tits only seem to take these early on, until other berries that they prefer become available
Black redcurrants / svartrips (Ribes petraeum var. biebersteinii with assorted other berries
A mix of berries and indoor grown fig to be used in a mixed fruit leather
Redcurrant / rips “Pink Champagne” has a sweeter taste than most
From the community garden (Væres Venner), a sunnier site than my own garden, these super early tomatoes were ripe already on 20th August, something I never dreamed was possible in the past! 42 days to the left and Linda Siberian to the right.
I’ve unsuccessfully tried growing figs in my old unheated greenhouse, overwintered in the cellar. Now, for the first time I’ve finally succeeded! This young Bornholm fig grown all year in an unheated bedroom has 4 figs and one was eaten today! Delicious!
