Cranberries on the Vine

Care less for your harvest than for how it is shared and your life will have meaning and your heart will have peace.
~~Kent Nerburn
These cranberries were not found in a bog, but were growing alongside the ditch in a Christmas tree lot in the Forties Settlement. Having always thought that cranberries grew in bogs, it had only been the past ten years or so that I discovered the difference.

  1. I've learned something... never knew they grew anywhere except in bogs! The contrast of colours are lovely in these shots. :)

  2. I thought only in bogs also...Makes me think of the Ocean Spray commercial where they are standing in the water with cranberries floating all around them.

  3. @Carol--I'm not sure but I think these are a different variety than what would grow in a bog.

    @suziCate--I haven't seen that commercial, although I tend not to see very much television these days. What I did notice about these cranberries was their small size. Perhaps the area is not as wet as they like.

  4. I've never seen cranberries in the wild, only on the commercial.
