Today's loot from the #garden and #edibleforest.

#GrowYourOwn #Food #Fruit

Made sand hill plum #jelly today. The fruit after which this farm is named. It is definitely a farm special! πŸ˜„

I've already picked 3 lbs. of #mulberries this morning. Hoping to do some #canning today. I think I have enough berries now. Gotta clean kitchen first. If not today, then tomorrow! πŸ˜…

Texting with my GF in Misery (MO) and they just got their beef and she is rendering tallow today.

We are both behind the curve and sweating! πŸ˜…πŸ˜† #Summer has arrived.

Picking black and white #mulberries today. Hoping to make jam/preserves this weekend.

I only got a couple cups of white, the black mulberries are on the bottom.

We only have one white mulberry tree.

A 'beautiful abundant food system' for future generations

Jared Hiakita has been germinating a seed of an idea while nurturing his food forest at the off-grid family farm in Hokianga. The seed has grown into a charity which will grow and donate fruit tree seedlings to local marae so locals can grow and harvest their own fruit.

I call this one "Rooster in the Thicket".

Having a #ThistleBattle when I noticed some red on what I had thought was a crab apple tree. (Before we purchased this property in 2018, someone brush hogged the front pasture & they didn't realize they mowed over 8 #trees. I've been pruning to save these trees ever since.) Well, it's not a crab apple tree! I think it's just a really stunted full size plum! 🀯 They're quite sweet. Glad I saw a thistle nearby or I would have missed the fruit (it was falling off the tree). #EdibleForest #FruitTrees
Fully loaded #mulberry tree this year! Crumble, scones, pie, and preserves incoming! I'm gonna be busy... πŸ˜… #mulberries #fruit #edibleforest #FruitTrees #CatsOfMastodon
