Berry harvest in early June


cherry, blueberry, Manchurian cherry, strawberry


On top of strawberry, there is a small harvest of cherry from the big old tree, blueberry started to mature and turn deep blue, and lastly Manchurian cherry or Chokeberry are ready too.

When fully mature and turned a deep red, Manchurian cherry is sour with mild sweetness. It is small with a big stone, sort of a bit like sloe. It is ok to eat a few at a time but otherwise can be turned into jam. I am just surprised that with the beautiful colour, birds do not attack Manchurian cherry, they do have good taste.
