RE: Cold Climate Permaculture Plants: Saskatoon
Great article! I had never heard of saskatoons before coming to canada, but Im very happy that we have 150 saskatoon bushes growing here on the land we rent :D they are so tasty!
But your article gave me a ton more information that I didnt know, so Im real greatful for that
Wow! How did you manage that?
The ppl who owns the land planted a saskatoon orchard a couple of years back. I think the idea was to have a u-pick business or similar but that havent really worked. When we moved in last year it was late in the season but we picked a whole lot. This year we will be able to pick right from the start, we are allowed to keep or sell every 3 pounds out of 4.
There is not much maintinance, we mow the lawn in between the rows now and again.
That sounds like a pretty good situation. Aimee and I were renting an acreage a few years ago and it was really nice. But no free berries!
yeah we´re loving it, just to get out of edmonton was amazing - having all those berries is icing on the cake for sure :) It feels like renting will be a good learning experience :)
