@sundogplanets And I have now learned that the Saskatoon berries used by the bakers on the Great Canadian Baking Show (just started watching them) are the same as the Pacific serviceberry or western serviceberry. I'll have to see if any show up at local farmers markets here in Portland as it will be years before the bush I planted will be ready to fruit.

That sounds like such a lovely start to the season—fresh Saskatoon berries, hay cutting, and flowers for the goats to enjoy later. It’s a nice reminder of how much learning can come from observing seasonal changes, and AI Rubric Generator for Teachers also has related content for educators: https://airubricgenerator.online

@sundogplanets your post reminded me that I had forgotten to uncover my saskatoon berries (not good for their longevity). Also that I had saskatoon berries to eat! :D
