We will be challenged on how to use our coming bounty

We are about to have a berry problem. Thousands of berries are about to ripen in our garden. They will need to be picked within about two weeks.

The first couple of berries have already ripened. By next week, there should be a pint or two a day.

Up close, the ripening berries are beautiful. I find they are quite photogenic.

As you back up, you can see a few insects have been visiting the garden. We don’t use any pesticides, so the unwanted visitors help themselves to whatever they want.
