Gooseberries! I love gooseberry pie yum yum!
And lingonberry crepes. Lingonberry jam. I'm about 50 miles south of a great lingonberry area. Next best place to get them is Ikea, in a jar! I tried growing cranberries, but the soil is too warm here.
I love currants, especially the clove scented ones. I don't cook with them, I just grow them for the blossoms in the spring.
The birds, bees and butterflies in my yard love the mulberries. I eat them too! The fish and turtles also enjoy snacking on them because the trees hang over the pond.
We also have elderberries growing around the pond, and the deer like those.
Last year my passion vines had fruit!
The one persimmon on my 2 persimmon trees ended up as coyote food.
We have pawpaws too. I hope I'm home the day they are edible! You have to catch them at just the right time, and if you do, they are super sweet and delicious.
I also grow grapes, blackberries, raspberries, marionberries, cherries, chinese quince, goji, kiwi. Most are shared with the wildlife. This year will be a great year for grapes. Some may actually make it into the house.
