I've got loads of cherries dangling from trees now and they're nice and plump. Dark red, almost black... How do I know when they're ripe, how do I collect them and what recipes can I use with them without a pressure canner? Thanks in advance guys :D You're lifesavers.

I've found LOADS of them where we plan to put the goats in the spring... but they're teeny tiny... What can I do with them? LOL

I know a picture says a thousand words, but I don't have my camera handy at the moment. I got a berry bush in a swap and it arrived bare rooted, without leaves and the tops are black and curled over... Is it even save-able? Or should I just chalk it up as a loss?

Would anyone happen to know the name of these lilies here? I've got a nice big bunch next to the pasture and they sure are pretty.

That's what this is, correct? I found it on the corner of our pasture.

My father has blackberries behind his house, but I think they were always ready to eat around July/August. The little bushes behind our place don't seem to be anywhere close to edible. The leaves look more like raspberries to me, but here's a photo of the berries themselves. Ideas?

I haven't seen any fruit, so I'm guessing I'm too late in the season. I'm hoping they're strawberry plants though. What do you think? My woods are loaded with these.

Mine are about yay big at the moment. When can I expect them to be ready for harvest?

Are they regular apples or crab apples? I've found an additional tree. The fruit is now starting to turn red; not the whole apple, just spots. 1st tree's fruit... 2nd tree...

I originally thought this tree might possibly be an Elder (berries are tiny like a pinky nail), but I've never seen those grow berries like this (clump wise)... Perhaps it's 'Cascara Sagrada'? It appears to be similar from the pictures in my medicinal plants book. Someone help me out please...

I know there's a few on BackyardChickens, but maybe someone here has something different? Or maybe we can just swap plants for plants? Anyone want to try it? :D

This is half of the cleared acre of land that is our 'yard'. I'm planning to enclose a section for my garden, but I'm considering fencing off a section for the goats or sheep (whatever we plan to get in the spring)... It's riddled with daisies and these purple flowers... What are they?

Well, I'm apparently horrid at guessing plants without their foliage. :lol: What I thought was a Fercynthia (sp?) bush, actually is something completely different... It's got pink flowers. Sorry for the crumby picture. Does anyone know what it is? ETA -- the old homeowner has christmas lights...

This is the tree I was questioning. It's so close to the addition they put on, I don't want it to get hurt. It looks pretty shabby already and doesn't get much sunlight (except the canopy). I'm thinking it's an apple, but anyone know what kind? Please, correct me if I'm mistaken! :lol: Sorry...

Has anyone tried these yet? I'm considering them, my boys love cherry tomatoes for snacks. Italian Ice Tomatoes - Burpee.com

The new house has a walnut tree, but I have no idea what kind. I don't have a picture, so I can't post it right now... but if anyone happens to have a photo of their own walnut tree/s can you please post them here? Thanks so much!!! :)

My pea's flowers are gone :( But there's little tiny pods in their places... I'm so excited!

I planted 5 seeds this spring and only 4 took. Since we planned to be moved out by now, I had already moved 3 to containers. They're dying. But this guy is flourishing :D Just thought I'd share. Don't mind all my weeds :/ Like I said, we should have been out of here by now, so I haven't been...

My grandmother and mother call them pansies. I haven't looked them up yet, I've got 5 or 6 different color varieties growing wild in our front flower beds by the bishop's weed.

I have no idea where I should post this thread, where it would get the sort of traffic I'm hoping for. Hopefully, this will be a decent section... okay, here goes. Firstly, I have no idea what zone I'm in :rolleyes: Sorry. I'm in Northeastern Pennsylvania. We are moving into the new farmhouse...
