Juneberry is my first canning crop this year. Although I could have
canned some rhubarb. Rhubarb is always there to cann except winter and
that is because the fruit is the stalk itself. But a little rhubarb
goes a long way for me. Perhaps it is because the acid of rhubarb is
not as easily taken by the body as is citric acid of oranges. I forget
the name of the acid in rhubarb but it is not taken in the body as
citric acid.

So I canned some juneberries tonight mixed with some strawberries. I
pick them when the berries turn red, not waiting for them to turn black
and full ripe because the robins relish these berries and they can
strip them of fruit quickly.

But I notice on some of the juneberry bushes some leaves are turning a
brilliant orange color. Is this a sign of lack of minerals or nutrients
or a sign of a disease or just normal.
