Virtual Cranberry Marsh Tour

Cranberry harvest season started for us on Friday and so I would like to share with all my readers the excitement and details of the cranberry harvest. Before I share pics of this year's harvest, here are a couple of summer season pics. In late August the cranberries started blushing and have been coloring ever since. My brother-in-law harvests some of his cranberries at this stage. It's called the white fruit harvest; the berries are used in the white cranberry juice blends.
Cranberries do no grow in water, but they do require an inch of water each week through out the growing season. Below you can see the sprinklers running in the summer. Notice how green the foliage is. Tomorrow's pics will show a much different landscape. I was thinking fall, but the meteorologist just predicted accumulating snow. Tomorrow will tell.
For a preview of cranberry harvest click on the cranberries tag in the righthand sidebar. That'll take you to posts from previous years.
