Great berry season means time for jam!

We've had a great raspberry crop this year. The plants grow in many parts of our forest. Five pints of berries were used to make some jam:

Berry plants get wacked by the brush cutter to make trails and help trees, but plenty remain. After raspberry season ends, blackberries will be ready. Picking our own berries for several weeks is one of the great parts about the season we know as summah. Both saws also got some work this weekend, as did the brushcutter. Some rainy days limited solar production, but we were still minus 17 for the week.
