John is watering for me but is definitely not a vegetable man. Looks like we can pick some berries at the Shinglemill before we head up the lake. They were just tiny green knobs when we left. I would like to preserve some for the winter, but don't have the setup yet. Maybe next year. We do love those berries. <br /><br />I see you were on the garden tour. I would have loved to go see all of the gardens and get more tips. How did it go? Did you get lots of visitors? - MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143889612119737515.post-33359625513571995102009-08-09T17:46:58.525-07:002009-08-09T17:46:58.525-07:00I'm hungry now for fig preserves, my mother-in...I'm hungry now for fig preserves, my mother-in-law used to make it every year and send me some. Now that she is not well, she is unable to can it. Blackberries aren't ripe here just yet will be soon,Mmmm...<br /><br />As a young child, I used to pick blackberries underneath a huge bush at our neighbors.
