Greene,

I did not know you could make jelly from these berries. That is amazing. Can you take a photo of your jelly. I would love to see what it looks like. Do you mix it with other fruit? What is the taste like?

Wow! I didn't know you could make jelly from these berries either. I would love to see a photo of the jelly also. The berries are so brightly colored, is the jelly gorgeous too? My poor little bush doesn't even think about putting out enough berries for jelly, but it dies back to the ground every winter here.

Yes, Greene, please show us a picture of the jelly. You told me about this last year and I have yet to try it, but it sounds delicious if it tastes as good as the berries look.

Any day you wake up on the sunny side of the grass is a good day.
