Making some elderberry juice. I threw in some green apples that fell from the tree.
I got going in the outer reaches of the yard what I call assisted #foraging. I plant some native food plants, water them enough to get them going, and then let them be on their own to grow and reseed. The current list of native edible berries and nuts:
#elderberry
#toyon
#goldencurrant
#mahonia
#Catalina_cherry
#manzanita
#lemonade_berry
#blackberry
#acorn
#PineNuts
#mesquite
It's a #NativePlant #foodforest
. Gardening for the seventh generation.

Just picked a bowl of golden currants. It's maybe enough for a pie, but there are more ripening on the two buses. Pretty good for not having to water them or do much else except pick. The birds are planting the buses all over the place too.
