The cherry tree is much ripe! We live in a bit of a colder climate but these cherries do fairly well! Sour until they are ready!

There are a few other various berries around too! Some saskatoons, some raspberries, some golden raspberries and some black raspberries !

I picked the berries 'cause I want a snack as I drive to town! I also harvested some nettles for a soup base! Boiled them up with some jarred horseraddish that is also homegrown.

The soup base is for a borscht ! I had to just cut the nettles into a bowl with scissors so the plant doesn't sting me. My friends and other young kids in the family20170806_122002.jpg used to whip each other with the stinging nettles! Now we eat them!

@havok777 Beautiful post! So much awareness in these fruits and plants :)

How long do you have to cook the nettles for so they don't sting your mouth?

Only 3 to 4 minutes

Thanks @havok777! Will try next time I see some.
