Have you had fireblight in your orchard? I’m looking for a fb resistant rootstock?
Sorry but I can’t help with that comparison. I’ve never tasted Green Gage. Guthrie is a Chickasaw plum so I thinking the taste would be different from most Japanese or European varieties.

Me and my buddy enjoying some fresh strawberries before breakfast. I’m convinced everything tastes better picked early morning.

Been getting all the strawberries we can use at this point so putting some into the freezer for winter. Going to turn this batch with the rhubarb into another crisp. Also getting two meals of asparagus per week.

Got a half gallon (2.3lbs) of Saskatoon berries at our local Costco. No, they don’t sell them there but were planted as ornamentals around the parking lot! Another benefit of being a member I guess. Looking forward to making a nice pie tomorrow to treat our kids with.

I am not for sure, I bought these from Stark Bros.
I can’t wait for garlic scapes!
how do you prepare yours? ive yet to find a good way to prepare them.
Garlic scape pesto (I use basil in mine too) tossed with pasta and parmesan cheese… oh my! The pesto also freezes well but loses some of the garlic pungency, which may or may not be a good thing. But I really love garlic. I can find my recipe if anyone is interested.
I’ve also heard they are good on the grill. We grew a lot more garlic this year so we’re going to try that out. Will report back!
