Dreaming of Berries
Beautiful Salal Flowers.
On a recent walk in Friday Harbor, Constance spotted a number of harbingers of sweetness yet to come. The Salal plant has flowers that look like clusters of little wax bells. They turn into blue coloured berries that are a little tart and chewy.
Persistent Frutilla.
This little wild strawberry plant had made its’ home in a little crack of rock….unfortunately the fruits won’t be ready for about another month!

Remembering Last Year’s Berries
Last year’s crop was a perfect Hitty-sized feast…she hopes the Salmonberries in our garden will have a good crop again this year – we’ll have to wait a few weeks to find out.

Yummy – Those berries look delicious…
We are looking forward to the ones in our yard being ripe enough to eat! They are flavoursome!
