#thewateringhole First huckleberries of the season! 😋
We didn’t find a SUPER great patch of them, but good enough to leave with about half a gallon 💜
We’re also getting lots of raspberries in our little backyard berry patch ❤️ We never have enough at one time to make anything because we just pick and eat them as soon as they’re ripe 😂
What are you all picking and eating out of your gardens/markets these days? ☀️

@debbiedo Those look good! What do you plan to do with the huckleberries? When I was growing up someone invited my mother to pick huckleberries on their property. She loaded up me, my brothers, and 2 of my cousins in the back of my uncle’s pickup. While we were picking the huckleberries, Mom spotted some blackberry bushes with ripe berries. She drafted me to help her pick the blackberries. Guess which 2 people got red bugs. It was the absolute worst case of red bugs I ever had. That is my memory of huckleberries!!
@Ms.Persnickety They’re sometimes called “Mountain Blueberries” I believe. As far as I know, they aren’t produced commercially. They’re smaller and more purple than blue, and super yummy!
@RefinedSandwort Oh no! What a horrible memory to associate with huckleberries 😢 It sounds like the blackberries were at fault to me! 😉
@EcoPlantLover @RefinedSandwort We freeze them and use them on yogurt, in pancakes, in fruit crisps…😋😋😋
@RefinedSandwort I should also mention that we always spray ourselves with bug repellent before we pick (mosquitoes are more common for us, but OMG I do NOT want to deal with chiggers!)
@debbiedo in today’s world, with Lyme disease, etc. we would probably use insect repellent. Fifty or more years ago, we might have bought some for a camping trip. We had picked blackberries many times without that happening, so we didn’t even think about it. Those little critters got everywhere you could imagine! Probably why I remember it all these years later. Whether you call them chiggers or red bugs, they can be a bad ending to an outing!
@debbiedo DEBBIE! 🤯 They look gorgeous and so happy and healthy. They are most definitely well on their way. You’re going to have so many tomatoes this year! Are you planning on canning or freezing them? I don’t think I’ve done canning in almost 20 years, but I really should. 🤣 I love seeing everyone’s gardens; mine is really struggling this year, it’s been a real struggle for some reason. I’m blaming Mother Nature 🌬️ so hopefully she doesn’t get too upset I’m saying it, but really it’s just a weird growing year for us. But you all seem to have some great weather going on up on the coast. OH!! Before I forget; your Vicks is ready! My mum and one of her childhood friends are going to Seattle to visit her sister. I was thinking of having her just take it, but I thought hmm; 🤨 maybe not? So I probably just ship it here soon. Remind me; do you like alocasias? Or more just like a Hoya or philodendron? Inch plant? Anything like that? Pineapple? I have so many little extras I’d love to send you more than just a Vicks and a tri Cuban oregano. 🤣
@Idplantthat Our weather is just getting hot now, so 🤞🏻 everything will keep growing!
Is your mom driving to Seattle with her friend? If so, she might be coming through my town and I’d be glad to meet up with her!
I’m just overwhelmed by your generosity 🥹
I think I have room for an Alocasia in my kitchen window (I’m inspired by your “kitchen Alocasia” ❤️). And I always have room for more Hoyas or Tradescantia 🤗

Def strawberries loove 🍓😍, hopefully cucumbers, tomatoes, melon, and peppers 🌶️ . Mint and watermelon 🍉 would be nice but watermelon is big and I heard harder to grow than other melons. Rn I have a balcony so I’m more limited.
Back when I had a garden when I was younger and lived in a house, I’d say cucumbers, lettuce, carrots, eggplant, mint (I used to make these cold water with mint watermelon and cucumber drinks) , one pepper, weird lookin potatoes lol, and probably more but it was like a decade ago omg 😱.
I always grow strawberries 😋 but I have never tried berries from trees before. I and you got so much off it! @debbiedo
