Hi Erin,

Nothing like eating home grown veggies and fruits. I wish I have my own garden myself. However, I took advantage of the wild black berries that grown all over the places here WA.

We picked at least a gallon of berries that day. We made freezer jam and smoothies. It was fun.
Besides they are so yummy to eat, they are so loaded with vit. C.
