Comments on: blueberry picking http://fadetheory.com/?p=1977 The habit of reading is the only enjoyment in which there is no alloy; it lasts when all other pleasures fade. ~ Anthony Trollope Wed, 08 Sep 2010 22:19:45 +0100 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 hourly 1 By: ShiftMama http://fadetheory.com/?p=1977&cpage=1#comment-522855 ShiftMama Wed, 27 Feb 2008 09:31:14 +0000 http://fadetheory.com/?p=1977#comment-522855 I'm really hoping to visit Tallinn once we move to Vilnius.

And I had even read your blog post and was wondering if you'd be calling me on that! I didn't have time to fully research it, and I admit I wasn't fully convinced at first. But, I did think after picking, "Did my hands turn this purple in the States? Why don't I remember that?" And yes, those are lingonberries, as you point out. There were plenty of those about and we ate some (and the last of the raspberries and cloudberries we found, too), but we were focused on picking the bilberries. Do you know what these other blue berries are called? They're a paler, grayer blue, milder-tasting, and oval, and the plant grows taller than the bilberry plants. Have any boysenberry picking tips? When we went kyacking around the islands in 2005, I went to town on the boysenberries I found there (I had never seen fresh boysenberries in the U.S., just grew up eating boysenberry yogurt). It was around this time, and I'm wondering if I can find them closer to Tallinn? Toward the end of our picking, part of the group found some chantarelles. They didn't share. ;) Pille, I stand corrected! And I had even read your blog post and was wondering if you’d be calling me on that!
