Had to look up Youngberry. Looks like fun and they look tasty. I forage for all kinds of stuff including our local beach berries (not really a thing, some version of blackberry) that look similar to the Youngberry.

What is it you will do with the Youngberries? Eat them obviously, but in pies, cobblers, just wondering?

[mention]karstopography[/mention] , we have mainly used them in Jam so far, but with the volumes we are picking I am investigating pies and cobblers. They go well in smoothies too. from what I understand, Youngberries are a cross between a Blackberry and a Dewberry. Definitely yummy, often wind up with pinky-purple lips while picking.

It's good to have help Whwoz!
I recall phoning people to come pick raspberries when I lived in a place that had a lot of them. If they couldn't come I'd have to pick. How I hated having to spend so much time picking. How the visiting kids loved them! They'd come in the door and annouce that they were hungry much to the dismay of one parent who swore that she fed her kids regularly! The youngster was merely hoping for some of the frozen berries from the freezer. I could always sate that appetite.
Your youngberries sound interesting.

Love raspberries as well [mention]Growing Coastal[/mention] and yes having help made a world of difference, plus they get the benefit of them straight away.

A bit on the history of youngberries

Youngberries were developed in 1905 by the famous fruit grower, Byrnes M. Young. While working in Morgan city, Louisiana, he encountered numerous failures in breeding another blackberry cultivar, the loganberry. After corroborating with Luther Burbank, who had created the 'Phenomenal' blackberry–raspberry hybrid, he decided to cross it with a dewberry and had immediate success. The Youngberry was born and subsequently introduced to commercial markets in 1926.

Would have picked 38 to 40 kg off the Youngberries in total. May get a few more to eat fresh but basically done. Also dug the last of the Garlic tonight, photos to follow

Ok, time for some photos. First up we have 4 more stick insects, these are babies, probably at second instar size around 40 mm/1.5 inches long at the moment. Can be difficult to spot and are good escape artists so if your cage has a hole they will find it.

Numbers 1 and 3 are on my wifes arm/hand. Number 2 has positioned itself in amongst some Cootamundra wattle leaves and a gum tree branch. Number 4 is eating gum leaf while in a small foam esky modified as a transport cage

We have had a couple of warmer days recently and this brought out the parasitic wasps and Blue banded bees. The wasps were highly active and I never got a good shot, but got some nice ones of a BBB diging her nest hole.

Now, back to the garlic

First up Johnston River Garleek, one of the clones of elephant garlic, this one selected by the seller at the Meeniyan Garlic Festival earlier this year for size from a clone planted on the family farm by her grandfather. Her best is nearing 6 inches across, mine are a bit short of that yet. Thinking I will keep the bulbils and vernalise them to see if I can get them to germinate.

Porcelain Group, the only porcelain garlic that I am aware of Down Under is Music

Don't know how it goes for those of you who grow it, but down here it tends to overwinter as plants with leaves 4 to 5 inches long that pretty much lie flat on the ground. Must take a photo one day for my own records. Probably lifted these a bit early, as with a number below, but the forecast was for rain over a few days. Never got the volume they were talking about

Standard Purple Stripes,

Mild 180-4, these will not be followed up further by the breeder, however I will keep growing them as they are from TGS and Savlli has some, hope they do well for her.

And to finish off today, Spanish Rojo. I have this from two sources and both look the same, plus I missed a couple of globes last year and they came up and have grown well. One is shown for the benefit of those curious to see what happens if you miss a globe.
