[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 533510, member: 14557"] We live in semi-rural area (used to be rural, is quickly coming more suburban) and have some land. Mostly things in garden are for summer (herbs, tomatoes, apples, peas etc.) but some we also grow for winter. Potatoes, onions, garlic, carrots, beetroots etc. are grown and put to the cellar for the winter. But most important to us are berries. Some we grow in garden (red- and blackcurrants and strawberries mostly), but mostly we just pick wild berries: blueberries, raspberries, cowberries, cranberries. Usually we have around 400-500 quarts or more (if that is suitable US measurement for these type of things) berries in freezer when winter comes. Not much left any more tough, but it doesn't take that long when we will again have new strawberries. We also pick a lot of mushrooms and preserve them for winter. Berry picking is not only for the healthy, tasty and free food, but it and mushroom picking are very relaxing and enjoyable hobbies. I have now already started gathering my winter stock. Some new, lovely nettles have been picked, boiled and in the freezer (I use nettle same way as spinach.) [/QUOTE]
