Eastern harvestman (𝘓𝘦𝘪𝘰𝘣𝘶𝘯𝘶𝘮 𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘮) living his best life in the staghorn sumac (𝘙𝘩𝘶𝘴 𝘵𝘺𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘢), from September 2019:

We found several patches of ripe black raspberries (𝘙𝘶𝘣𝘶𝘴 𝘰𝘤𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘴) while hiking the Wiley Trails this morning :

Wild blackberry season has started with a vengeance. There are millions this year, good size ones, too, from all the rain. Plenty for us and the birds. Horrible to pick, of course. These ones were sown for us by the birds, years ago, and we just tend them and #harvest , freeze and eat throughout the year.

Exciting find: stumbled across a massive tangle of black #raspberry stalks next to the old grain bin out back. Picked 3 cups of them and there are at least that many more still getting ripe. #wildfruit #nativeplants
