What do you forage?

[WildBird]

Are those wild fruits growing on their own or abandoned by previous owners?

I believe the plums and maybe some of the apples were planted several decades ago and have since grown wild, but the elderberries, thimbleberries, and blackberries are pure wild.

Well soon it will be Persimmons for jams , The red sumac is almost ready to harvest the berries , acorns are falling and almost time to harvest peanuts, The sorghum was a good yield this year as well .

What do you do with red sumac berries?
