Harvest time in Jemez Mountains. (1 Viewer)

[Mauser]

Took a quick trip yesterday. Kids had a great time looking for raspberries. A few other things are ready too

Raspberries. Good to just pick and eat.

Currants

Chokecherries make great wine.

Wild hops. If any beer brewers want to try them they are ready now.

I approve this message. Wild raspberries rock.

They are awesome. Takes a while to get a handful, but they taste better than domesticated ones.

I was excited to find the hops. I have heard of them, but have never found any.

I had no idea that Hops were growing in the Jemez. I will be watching for them now.

I have heard of them in the Jemez and up by the Terrero Campground, but never seen them. I know a guy that uses them for beer, but he keeps their location secret.

You're more of a distiller than a brewer, right? Neat to see hops growing wild in NM. Had no idea that was even a thing.

I have heard of them in the Jemez ...

I've also seen them in the Magdalena Mountains. It has a widespread distribution in New Mexico, but I would not say it's common.

I will be foraging at my earliest convenience..... Thanks for this message! I have been searching forever for Chokecherries and Currants.

Hmmmm.... Perhaps tomorrow.....

Also, the bolete mushrooms should be starting to come up.

I know someone who made beer with those hops. Neo Mexicanus IIRC (Jon?). I found them, but was not there at the right time to take any. which is fine, since I grow my own here at home. I did not know about the currants and choke cherries. very cool!
