RE: The First Handful of Goji Berries Harvested this Year! (Already Ahead of Last Year)
Wow! I never had one, how do they taste?? Sweet? I should look them up! I wonder if they grow in zone 5/6... hmmmm
I hope you get a great harvest!
They Taste like a cherry/cranberry. They are sweet with a little tart. (very good) They will grow in zone 5 to 9 so you will be able to grow them if you decide to. They can survive -18 degrees Fahrenheit.
Thank you for the support!
Ooooh wow! I wonder if I can find a bush locally! Cool, thanks for the info!
Sure thing, no problem! If you can't find a goji plant locally you can go to your local health food store and buy organic dried gojiberries. Then what you want to do is get a seed tray fill will the soil of your backyard and put the entire berry in each cell in the hole you make and cover them. Keep moist or water everyday for about a month or 30 days which is on average the amount of time it takes them to germinate this way. ( Note you will see mold on the surface of the soil or around berry, This is normal and actually makes your plants stronger and resistant to disease.) Here is a blog That I did summarizing the process and is more in depth: https://steemit.com/gardening/@kepo777/my-progress-for-fresh-homegrown-goji-berries-in-my-garden-first-steemit-post-about-goji-berries
