The Sand Cherries are blooming like crazy....
Here are some volunteer plants that came up conveniently at the end of the grape rows....their first year to bloom and with any luck they will set some fruit.
In the past 2 years we picked these and added them to some Chokecherry wine....This year I hope we get enough to made a batch of just Sand Cherry Wine....they are much sweeter than the Chokecherries.
They are very easy to grow, readily self-seed....our first ones came in a wildlife packet of plants from the county, put together and sold by them to feedthe birds and wildlife....then we started making wine with fruits....so the birds have to find other berries to eat.
