Time to hit the bed. That's it. That's all I have energy left. Fuck you expecting something smart, witty or funny. I am going to sleep and that's the bottom line, because a hot, sexy catgirl said so!

There, happy now? Oh, I made yet another lingonberry pie lol I'm making flawless pies, I'm so good at baking. (Seriously this is so easy, why I didn't bother doing this before?)

@susie What about lingon berries do you like? I'm considering planting them in my orchard, and information from a consumer would be helpful.

@DoubleD They taste relatively strong compared to most commercial berries (not bred to contain the most water for bigger berries). I like the tart taste, which brings nice contrast with the sweet pie dough.

Lingonberries are very versatile and you can use them with game meat (deer, elk, reindeer etc) as well as sweet desserts.

AFAIK they also don't need as much water to grow (found in mostly dry pine forests here).

@susie Thanks. I've eaten them several times, and I prefer them to cranberries for the reasons you mentioned. My soil is ideal for them because low-bush blueberries grow really well in it naturally. I'm optimistic. Maybe I'll start selling them if they do well.

@DoubleD Don't expect to get big bank. Like most wild berries they take lots of space to grow in comparison of how many berries you get. I'd suggest just making jam with the excess rather than trying to sell them.

(Of course if you have huge land reserved for them could sell some, but in small scale gardening it's imo always better to just jar them up and not deal with the commercial side of things).

@susie I already have a business, and that's what I was referencing: value-add products like jams and preserves with lingon berries. I never expect a big profit in business.
