The other bushes with blooms there are more Nanking Cherries, they all camein a wildlife packet of bushes we got from the county when we moved here.
Next row behind are3 volunteer Sand Cherry plants that came up in the garden....the Sand Cherries are also scattered around here from the wildlife Packet...the reseed easy ....I have been using them in wine mixed with Chokecherries...I might try to get a few more plants and someday make just Sand Cherry Wine...they are sweeter than the Chokecherries.
I am going to pick up more Nanking Cherries too...not all the bushes produce cherries....I think 3 or 4 of our 6 bushes produce....don't know if they are male and female or what the story is on them.
Appleman...the soil is kind of dark, especially when it is first worked up...it is clay and sand...so mix water and it turns to brick...if we work it up when it's wet we fight hard clods all summer....
I called Jungs yesterday for the status of my order, it was getting packed....sure is late...[but they always are] they didn't show any back-orders....so should have 3 more Currants, Gooseberries, Josta Berries, an Aronia bush and more Elderberries.....so far my Elderberries are in another area of the yard...and have read they may contribute diseases to tomatoes....so will plant them in another wildlife area.
Spring has sprung.....so...now if we get the 3-4 days of thunderstorms all the vegetable seeds, potato sets and onion seeds and sets I planted yesterday will come up....Life is good!!!!Edited by: Northern Winos
