Glanced at the elderberries when I got home and realized I had neglected them. Many had ripened and fallen off, maybe half on the front yard bush. But others were not ripe yet, so I gathered what I could and froze them, awaiting further processing.
Since I had started, I picked all the Aronia from the 2 bushes in the front yard, and some from the 10 in the back yard. Got 5 gallons (picked about 3 gallons during the Permaculture Convergence at Troy Gardens, with the help of 3 of the attendees)
Mosquitoes finally drove me in. Time for supper anyway. More soon!
