Name day raspberry pie

Blueberry - mustikka

Raspberry - vadelma

Strawberry - mansikka

Gooseberry - karvianen

they are all marja even though the name does not include it.

I also bought some real blueberries picked in the woods, much better tasting than the cultivated bush blueberries. Right now the strawberry season is just about over, rasberries (they also grow wild) are in the season and blueberries are just about ripe and then later lingonberries (puolukka)
