Edible fruits in the Garden

Our landscape in Le Bic is about an acre with a mix of native and ornamental plants, including a number of plants with edible fruits. Among the edibles are sour cherry, plum, apple, serviceberry, gooseberry, and raspberry. Next spring, we plan to add some blueberry bushes.
Currently, we're picking and eating ripe raspberries (yum! wish there were more), serviceberry (like in Asheville but ripe in late July rather than in early June), and sour cherries (tasty, some a bit sour, others not).
