    No leaves means definitely no flowers or berries, lol. We’re still a couple months out from that, and then the frost returns some time in September. I’ve actually never grown saskatoons, but maybe I should try. They are delicious, although they’re only really good for baking with.

    It’s certainly different, and I’m always jarred when I remember people in more temperate places are harvesting. On the other hand, most pests can’t survive here, and there’s no shortage of winter fun. The northern lights are cool too.

      Yeah, give saskatoons a try! You’d be surprised what’s possible even in your climate.
