    I’ve been following you two for a while now, but don’t think I’ve commented. I was raised in the country in Upstate New York many a year ago and I remember my brother and I going out into the woods and find all kinds of berries. We could walk down the railroad tracks with a 5 quart pan and come home with it FULL of wild strawberries. In the woods we found currants, black raspberries, and red raspberries. I’ve noticed over the years that I have NEVER seen black raspberries in the stores. I researched why and the only thing I could find was that they are very susceptible to disease, although I never noticed that in the wild, as they were always prolific. You have a gold mine there...the red/black raspberries are the BEST!!! ENJOY!!! 💕
    P. S. I love your shirt too Kevin!!!

    My Mother In Law and I used to pick wild black raspberries together. She taught me to tie an ice cream pail around my waist to have 2 hands free for picking. We would pick berries by the pail falls.

    For the ground cherries you harvest the fallen ones. Put them in a bowl until husk is very brittle and paperlike. They make a terrific jam !!

    They grow very easy and we call them Cape gooseberries (appeliefies). I pick them as soon as the husk cover is dry. Make jam but take care the worms sometimes get to them first. Where one falls a lot of plants come up.

    In the Summer when I was a kid (I grew up in MO) we would pick possum grapes and fox grapes. They grow wild (usually on vines up in trees). They are good for eating or jelly. Maybe keep an eye out see if you have any. To me, ground cherries are a strange mix of pineapple and tomato. I don't like them but I have family members that do.

    we are lucky to have several wild berries growing on our steep Hillside to goes to the top of the hill or Mountain next to us. Huckleberry's salmon berries salal berries salal berries and blackberries and we mix them all together with blueberries we grow and strawberries and we make jam and we call it traffic jam because they're so many berries! It's a traffic jam with berries my kids all voted it's the best jam ever and that's all they beg me to make now! 💜

    @CarrieNita 6 років тому

    The ground cherries have a paper husk. When they are ripe they fall to the ground. The husk peals off and there is a small fruit inside. The fruit is different flavors. My favorite tastes a little like pineapple. Fresh eating, jams, pudding pies, and flavoring smoothies is what I have heard of

  • @keishanewell3609
    @keishanewell3609 6 років тому +1

    Ground cherries are one of my favorite things to eat. I grow them in my garden. I let them fall to the ground topically but you have to be quick or the ants/bugs will get them.

    So many memories of picking black raspberries and dew berries in Douglas County as a child. We would end up with more chiggers than berries in our buckets most of the time! My Great Grandmother made some amazing sweet dumplings with any “left over” berry sauce after making her jams. I remember one time she poured some sauce into the hand cranked ice cream maker at the very end and made swirl berry ice cream! I have to say that the memories are as sweet as I remember the treats! Thank you again for taking me back to my childhood! A day trip to Blackjack school dirt road is in my near future!

    Hi there, Winter Cherries are delicious...wait til the outer shell is like paper, and pick away...yum...they taste a little like tomato...awesome that you have wild black raspberries, i just found some wild ones too...i'm going back tomorrow to harvest some, they are ripe!!! YEA!!! Thank You for your knowledge, and sharing this video...Much Love and Be Well💛

    We live in NW Missouri and find tons of morel mushrooms. It just takes time to learn where to look. If you do find any save the water and cutoffs from when you clean them and spread them in your timber. ( they like rotten logs and maple trees.) After a few years of spreading the spores you will begin to find more and more mushrooms as long as you continue to spread spores. Sort of like farming morels

    In Australia we know your ground cherry as Cape Gooseberry. They are ready to eat when the berry turns a golden colour. The less golden they are the more tart or sour they taste. I don't mind them a little tart.

Thank you for taking us along on your adventure. Raspberry season has totally been abundant for us as well. We have collected 3 gallons and will be making wild raspberry jam again this year. It has become a 'tradition' for gifting them.🎁 God Bless you and much love 💖 -Karen

    My grandmother had ground cherries in her flower garden around her house. You pick them when the shell is thin and papery. I hope you like them. I hated them as a young person and my taste buds never changed to ever like them. Gooseberries are entirely different. Love them, and I have the best recipe for pie using cream. Delish! Let me know if you want the recipe , will send. Great video. Just love you guys.

    @johncraftenworth7847 6 років тому

    if you want a sweet tart flavor, pick a groundcherry off the plant that looks halfway ripe (when compared to the ripe husks on the ground). Or very sweet, just grab the ones on the ground. They keep remarkably well in the husks, I've stored them at room temp for a couple of weeks and they do great.

  • @lbsmith83
    @lbsmith83 6 років тому

    When I lived out on the farm we had a big coulee ...in the Month of June the morales seemed to come in plenty...June is typically wet and the morels love that for growing...also in the coulee where it stayed damp. You could try a typically wetter month for your area.

    We have a lot of mulberry trees around our property so this year we harvested enough to make 3 gallons of mulberry wine! In the past 2 years, we've made raspberry, cherry, grape, apple, peach, pineapple, and cranberry wine. We don't buy wine at the store anymore. It's very simple to make and the equipment is relatively inexpensive. The cost to make wine is a bag of sugar and a packet of yeast (about $.75). Alcohol isn't for everyone, but if you enjoy tasty wine (with no additives!), making your own is a great way to use those homestead fruits and berries!

    I grew ground cherry for several years. First off , they are harvested from the ground hence the name. In the fall when I cleaned the garden beds and threw the remains into the compost there were always a few unripe fruit left on the plants which sprouted the following spring. The same goes for any fruit forgotten on the ground.I had ground cherries coming up for a few years more then I originally planned on. They love a rich soil and will overgrow and break if excessively fed .

    @elizabethyates5933 6 років тому

    Ground cherries are yummy. Wait'll they turn yellow and the papery covering dries out. fine when they drop but bugs are likely to get to them before you. in my experience anyway... They almost have a slight custardy flavor... sweet mild but iguess flavor can vary depending on conditions.. I find they really like to grow where my pigs are... moved the pigs and the previous spot only had a couple baby plants after that..

    These berries are great. We have come across a couple patch of them at a couple lake areas. The only bad part is the mosquitos carry us away when we go to pick them. But they make great jam. Enjoy. Oh the ground cherries. My mother use o make jam with them. So a few years ago I thou get I wanted some childhood memories . When to the Green house and asked about them. They had the plants . But they told me not to plant them anywhere I didn’t want them forever. The said they are a notorious weed! And will multiply. Well that was at least 5 years ago and I’m still getting them showing up in my garden. When the paper husk drys out they are ready or if you pick them a bit early they will still ripen. So leave them where they are and go to them.
