There are still some small fruits, but from the beginning of July, the suzuki drosophila arrives. It’s a midge that lays its eggs in any red, blue or black fruit. Raspberries, blueberries, blackberries: they rot and fall, the harvest stops. So at the end of June, we hurry to pick before the drosophila. <\/p>\n\n

\"\"
The Josta casegrowers are loaded with fruit, with some branches completely covered. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
It is a hybrid of blackcurrant and gooseberry (in German Johannisbeere and Stachelbeere, hence the name Josta).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
When they begin to ripen, they need to be picked quickly. A storm is enough to spoil all the black fruit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
The taste is very similar to blackcurrant, but less convenient for jams: there’s more to clean up.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
A Japanese medlar tree (Eryobotria japonica), this one is small and skinny but gives the best fruit. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
They’re not easy to pick; you do it with a basket-pole.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
At the beginning of June they are yellow and acidic like juicy lemons. At the end of June they are orange and very sweet.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
They are very easy to peel with the fingers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Inside there are 4 large cores, we eat all the rest.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
It’s delicious, much better in my opinion than real medlar (Mespilus germanica).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Black raspberries (Rubus occidentalis) are ripe and black.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
An American species, very thorny. It spreads and multiplies easily. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
The fruit is very good, with a particular sweetness that has nothing to do with raspberries or blackberries. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
At the end of June, the rye is blond.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
It’s time to harvest, ideally around mid-July. But with thunderstorms looming, we may have to think ahead. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
See you soon for the harvest.<\/figcaption><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
