Very nice varieties. My husband was just told he has diabetes and that he can have anything that ends with berry. Now to get him to eat all the berry bushes I planted for him ❤

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Fresh fruit is always delicious! Berries actually score very low on the glycemic index compared to other fruits. It is a great treat to have 😊🍓🍒🍓 -Cara

[@teresamackenzie9896]

My kids loved snacking on the hardy kiwi fruit when they were growing up. The plants should easily cover a good portion of the shipping container in a few years. Ours grew up 2 stories to our deck, then along the rail. The red currants make a fantastic chutney with some rosemary, as well as currant vanilla jelly.

[@bluebirdhomestead]

That chutney sounds delicious! I love the flavor combination you combined 😊. I am glad to hear you and your kids have enjoyed the hardy kiwis 🥝 That is great to hear! -Cara

[@emilygardner]

I'm loving your berry garden videos. They're SO inspirational. I love how you're just filling up spaces with berries. I'm amazed at how much landscaping and garden spaces you tend to. I do hope we can see a rose tour and veggie garden tour sometime! I'm hoping that by the looks of the trees, you filmed a lot in advance and are putting things out from a couple months ago? :) Thanks as always for sharing your beautiful life!

[@adventures707]

1:28 they look so pretty! Almost like beads.

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

Wonderful selection 🥰🥰🍃

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Thank you 🤗

[@Amy-fd8cs]

I’ll be interested in tasting these.😊

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Me too! 😊

[@AHomesteadingHustle]

Good Morning Cara! I love these new varieties you're adding! My sister in law bought a property in Wisconsin and didnt realize it had a ton of currant bushes! She made some jam last year and it was so lovely! Might be something i need to add as well. Ive never heard of 'jostaberry'! How fun!

[@bluebirdhomestead]

What a great surprise to find on her property!! That is so fun! Maybe she has some cutting she could share with you next time you visit her :) -Cara

[@tomatoespoppieseverything]

Very interesting, thanks Cara!

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Glad you liked it! :)

[@hannahwhitehome]

Hello! I have just found your channel and it’s so beautiful, I love that you celebrate the beauty of Gods creation. I am from South England and have just bought gooseberry, black currant and red currant bushes! I also have blueberry bushes and strawberry plants and hope to make a ‘hedgerow’ jam with the currants! I love a gooseberry yoghurt ice cream which was my main reason for buying the bush. Lots of our recipes here make the gooseberries into a syrup or serve with a custard as sweetness brings out their full flavour. I look forward to seeing how yours get on, I have space for 3 more bushes so will see what you recommend Xx

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Gooseberry yoghurt ice cream sounds lovely! Do you have a recipe for it you could share? It will probably be a while until I can harvest enough gooseberries to make it, but I will tuck it away for when that time comes. A hedgerow of berries will be wonderful. I hope all of your new plants do well for you! -Cara

[@MaryWisemoon]

Hi Cara!!! I'm a 15 year old girl who just recently started gardening, and I started watching your channel. (Edit: I also subscribed, haha!!) I currently have a handful of berry bush/tree roots. The variety is blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, boysenberries, and figs. I was wondering if you had any tips or videos on your platform I could watch? It would be a big help!!!! Lots of love from Oklahoma ❤❤❤

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Hi, thank you so much for subscribing! ❤ It sounds like you have a great garden going already! I am wanting to add some fig trees to my garden soon as well. What type of figs do you have and do you recommend them? I have a lot of videos on my channel about gardening with several playlists as well. Here are a few of the "berry" specific ones. You can always search on our channel home page as well :) I try to answer questions in the comments the best I can as well! I hope that helps. -Cara kzbin.info/www/bejne/f52xm616jceWepI kzbin.info/aero/PL7YTfoWPPekN3wdXi2UQKt7rPKU_EBG0n kzbin.info/aero/PL7YTfoWPPekPcRBNFXFMAJ0xCwQL4cHBC

[@MaryWisemoon]

@@bluebirdhomestead Thank you so much for responding!!! Yes, I've already got flowers, tomatoes, cucumbers, and eggplants growing. So far so good!! I believe the name of the figs are the Bourjasotte Grise. (I know, bit of a mouthful 😆) Yes, I do recommend them!!! One of my neighbors back in South Carolina had this type of fig tree in their yard. They gifted us some figs, and they were SO delicious!!! My dad loves figs also. Your family will love them!! Thank you so much for the video suggestions. I'll make sure to check them out later!!!! I appreciate your time 😊

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Bourjasotte Grise is a bit of a mouthful to say haha. I would probably butcher the pronunciation. I am glad you are enjoying them though! I will keep my eye out for that variety! -Cara 😊

[@MaryWisemoon]

@@bluebirdhomestead Yep, slaughtered that one a few times. 😅 Thank you for everything. Glad I could help also!!! Have a wonderful day, and God bless!!! 🤍

[@SweetHomeDelights]

interesting plant haul.

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Thank you! It’s fun to buy different kinds of fruit 😊

[@KathysTube]

Thanks for showing and telling the different varieties... I learned a lot today👍 Have you ever thought of growing tea...?😊❤

[@bluebirdhomestead]

I have been looking into growing tea actually! I am having a hard time finding tea bushes in my area though. -Cara

[@KathysTube]

@@bluebirdhomestead I think Table Rock Tea Co in SC may sell plants...? I just recently discovered it can grow in zone 7 where I am...

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Oh nice! I will look into them! Thank you! -Cara 😊

[@aprilhampton6298]

I love growing new things. I planted purple tomatillos this year along with a few other new for me plants. Where did you get your fruit bushes or trees?

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Purple tomatillos sound so fun! I love growing new things too 😆 These bushes were from edible landscaping. ☺️

[@megslittlehouseinthecountry]

I grew up in the Rockies. I remember as a child picking wild currents and gooseberries in the mountains. They were very good. Good luck with you new berry plants. 💖💖💖

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Those sound like some wonderful childhood memories Meg! I hope you are feeling better too! -Cara

[@megslittlehouseinthecountry]

@bluebirdhomestead they are good memories to have. I am having surgery on my wrist next Monday. Then the real healing can start. 💖🙏💖

[@justintime8314]

All those berry bushes are so cool! The haul looks amazing! 🌿🍓 I can imagine all the delicious treats you'll be able to make with those. Love'd the video as always, keep up the great work and happy gardening!

[@bluebirdhomestead]

Thank you! I am excited for all the yummy treats in the future too :)

@@bluebirdhomestead you're welcome 😁 Happy to be here 🙏🎉

[@annmacbride3100]

I am in 4b...have most of those bushes..except some different cherry bushes (Hansen) and dwarf trees(Romeo and Juliet). Can’t do the Kiwis...bummer. Have you tried ground cherries?

[@bluebirdhomestead]

That’s great! It sounds like you have a lot of berries growing in your garden. How do you like your bush cherry 🍒 varieties? Do they taste nice? Yes I do have lots of ground cherries 😊 I made a ground cherry jam last year that was delicious! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZi1ZqeNf5aShacsi=D1bYIEKCM__HXNGs

[@annmacbride3100]

Just planted the bush cherries...still waiting for the dwarf cherries to produce. I made some ground cherry jam...good stuff, I think next time I will strain out the seeds.

[@linhbenthall1955]

Where did you go to pick them up? I’m in northern VA

[@bluebirdhomestead]

they were from edible landscaping ☺️

[@Amy-fd8cs]

Why were currents banned in America?

[@Coldtropics]

I don’t think your wild currant is a black currants it’s a yellow golden currant species there is wild black currants but there rarer like ribes Americum
