Totally OT - can someone help me identify this berry?

 DONT DO IT!  ACK!  

 Too late! LOL I didn't like them, tastes kinda like grass.

 Ok, they are not that great LOL They taste more "green" and less berry, kind of sweet but I am not sold. I might pick them and make jam just to see, but I don't think it's going to go over well with the kids.

Jam would work, as long as you add citric acid powder to brighten the taste, kinda like you'd need to do with elderberries.. 

Thought you might enjoy this, look what else I found growing along side my house! I am majorly excited about this one since I know what it is and I LOVE it! 

 

Wild strawberry?
The oval leaves behind it are from other plants, but the pic is blurry, so not sure.. We have little wild strawberries in our yard, but they don't have any flavor?

edit, typed year, meant yard!

Yep, wild strawberries, the other leaves are from my morning glory creepers, these got themsevles all tangled up in them, not sure where they even came from but happy they are here. 

Is it the first year for your strawberries? Often the first year they don't have a very good taste, but following years they are much better! Also, you can be aggressive in your pruning at the end of flowering and it will help the plant store more energy to make tastier fruit the next year!

Nope! My lawn (if you can call it that!) has always has them at the edges near the fence, some violets, lamb's ear and various other inhabitants.. the strawberries just never get much bigger than a dime, and are meh.. Now I do have a big Rubbermaid tub out back overflowing with cultivated strawberries that I planted last Spring when I had my VSG, and let the runners propigate while pinching the berries.. that gives me a small handfull every couple days.. my treat! 

My goal this year is to get blueberries started so I will have a good crop next year. We are working on becoming self sustaining, although the town is making it so hard on us. They won't let us build a rabbit hutch and they said no to our request for chickens. I wonder why kind of gasket they would blow if we tried to build bee hives LOL

 I spotted wild gooseberries at a park the other day, green spiny pretty things! I may need to re-visit in the fall when they get ripe and see if I can collect enough to make some sorbet! Never messed with them before since you need gloves to pick them!
