Learn How to Plant and Grow Marionberries

Rubus x ‘Marion’

If you ever visit Oregon, be prepared to fall in love with the local hero: the marionberry. It’s everywhere.

At every restaurant, grocery store, and tourist shop.

In the summer, when the 33 million-plus pounds of local marionberries are ripening, Oregonians are stuffing their faces with cobbler, pie, ice cream, beer, and shakes.

It’s not just Oregon that’s enraptured. The marionberry is arguably the most popular trailing blackberry in the world, and for good reason.

The berries are big and juicy, with an earthy berry sweetness that is ideal for just about any dish. Locals call it the “cabernet of blackberries.”

Technically, the name is Rubus x ‘Marion’ but you’ll see it styled as “marionberry” and “marion berry.”

We link to vendors to help you find relevant products. If you buy from one of our links, we may earn a commission.

However it is spelled, this blackberry cultivar somehow improves on the luscious flavor of the original fruit. It’s a bit like a blend between a raspberry and a blackberry.

Because the fruit is juicy and soft, it’s almost impossible to find sold fresh outside of the state of Oregon.

Most marionberries are shipped frozen or processed. So what do you do if you crave the sweet zing of the fresh fruits? Grow your own!

That’s exactly what we’re about to help you do, and here’s what we’ll talk about to that end:

The marionberry is a hybrid of two types of blackberry: the Chehalem and the Olallie berry.

These berries are hybrids themselves, with a bit of the North American native berry Rubus ursinus, some of the highly invasive Himalayan blackberry (R. armeniacus) and a dash of red raspberry (R. idaeus).

A close up horizontal image of black and red marionberries pictured on a green soft focus background.A close up horizontal image of black and red marionberries pictured on a green soft focus background.

To be specific, the marionberry has 44 percent of R. ursinus, 25 percent of R. armeniacus, and six percent of R. idaeus in its genetic makeup.

Don’t worry, it’s not potentially invasive like the Himalayan blackberry.

There are no escaped marionberries in Oregon, and that’s because they don’t grow from seed and they don’t propagate from the buds on the roots like Himalayan blackberries do.

The marionberry was bred by Oregon State University agricultural scientist Dr. George Waldo in Corvallis, Oregon, in 1948.

Corvallis, by the way, is in Marion County, which is where the berry derives its name. That’s right, it has no relation to the famous former Washington D.C. mayor Marion Barry.

It was released to the public in 1956 in cooperation with the USDA Agricultural Research Service and quickly rocketed to stardom in the state.

Marion County still produces 90 percent of the world’s crops, and if you visit Corvallis in August, you’ll be surrounded by more marionberry goodness than you thought possible.

The flavor is earthy, sweet, with just a bit of tang, the seeds are tiny, and the receptacle is narrow.

GPOD on the Road: Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden

0

Hi GPODers!

Our community has shared photos from public and private gardens all over the world. North America is usually the most represented, but we have travelled throughout Europe, Central and South America, Asia, Australia and New Zealand via home gardens and the famed botanical institutions that adventurous GPODers travel to. Today, we finally venture to a country that is famous for its flowers but (to my knowledge) has not been seen on Garden Photo of the Day before: South Africa. One particular destination in South Africa that should be on every plant-person’s bucket list is Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens in Cape Town, South Africa, and Caroline from Yakima, Washington had the opportunity to visit this internationally-acclaimed botanical garden last year. Here is what she had to say about her trip and the incredible plants she saw while there:

I had an amazing trip to four countries in southern Africa last fall, and one of many trip highlights (lions! baby elephants! penguins! giant sand dunes! Victoria Falls!) was visiting the world-class Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens, located in a mountain valley on the outskirts of Cape Town, South Africa. I was there in early November, which they call late spring or early summer although their seasons bear little resemblance to ours in North America. It was sunny, warm, and dry while I was there. Some outstanding features of the garden are the stupendous setting, the exotic plants, the wide, paved paths, and the famous elevated walkway. Another is the 16 species of snakes present in the garden, but no worries, only four are dangerous and really only three will kill you. The Cape region has such biodiversity that it is a unique Floral Kingdom, one of six such regions in the world, and for that reason it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It comprises only 0.5% of the land mass of the continent of Africa yet contains 20% of its plant species, most of which occur nowhere else on earth. The World Heritage Site consists of eight separate protected areas, one of which is the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens, where 2,285 native species are showcased. Many have been bred to become garden favorites and are grown around the world. These plants include: amaryllis, kniphofia, protea, watsonia, gardenia, plectranthus, bird of paradise (Strelitzia reginae, Zones 10–12), and aloe.

Truly one of the most stunning settings for a garden in the world.

Protea cynaroides flowerI found the protea genus gorgeous and fascinating. This is the national flower of South Africa, the king protea (Protea cynaroides, Zones 9–12).

orange pincushion protea flowerThis beauty is a pincushion protea (Leucospermum vestitum, Zones 9–11).

bright yellow Leucospermum flowersAnother leucospermum. In addition to a huge display in Kirstenbosch, I saw this one growing in front of people’s homes and in parks throughout Cape Town.

Mimetes cucullatusYet another gorgeous member of the protea family, the common pagoda (Mimetes cucullatus, Zones 9–11).

Thank you so much for sharing these beautiful photos of fascinating plants, Caroline! This had to be a life-changing trip, and we really appreciate you sharing a slice of the plant magic with us.

Caroline also teased that she has some more photos she would be willing to share with us, so if you’re interested in seeing more from this world-class botanical garden please let her know in the comments. And if you have any interesting plant photos to share, follow the directions below to submit your photos to Garden Photo of the Day!

Pesto Shrimp Pasta (Easy 15 Minute Dinner)

0

This pesto shrimp pasta is one of the easiest dinners you can make. It’s just a handful of ingredients; pasta, shrimp, pesto, and a few extras,  and it comes together in about 15 minutes, start to finish. The only real prep is slicing a few cherry tomatoes, and everything else is just cooking pasta and tossing it all together. It’s simple, flavorful, and the kind of meal that works any night of the week.

This is one of my go-to recipes when I’m deep in cooking burnout and need something that feels like a real dinner without requiring any effort. I rely on meals like this that use simple ingredients and don’t leave room for error. It’s the kind of recipe you could hand off to someone else and still know it’s going to turn out. I make this often because it’s easy, reliable, and still something everyone actually wants to eat.

If you’re into easy dinners like this, you might also love my sweet chili chicken rice bowl, blackened salmon tacos with slaw, or pesto shrimp orzo. Same low-effort energy, just different flavors to keep things interesting.

Ingredient spotlight 

This is not a full list of ingredients, but a quick overview of some of the key ingredients to make this cooking burnout friendly: 

  • Shrimp (Peeled & Deveined) – Use peeled and deveined shrimp to keep this recipe truly low effort. It saves you 5–10 minutes of prep and makes this a much more realistic weeknight meal. I like using large shrimp, but any size works.
  • Pesto – Use any pesto you love. I usually grab a store-bought option (Trader Joe’s is my go-to) to keep things simple, but homemade works great too. If you want to make your own, my cashew arugula pesto is especially good here.
Fork holding pesto shrimp pasta over the bowl.Fork holding pesto shrimp pasta over the bowl.

Tips for success

  • One-pot option (lower effort) – If you don’t want to dirty another pan, add the shrimp directly to the pasta water during the last 2 minutes of cooking. It works well, just note the pasta may pick up a little shrimp flavor.
  • Use pre-cooked shrimp – Already cooked shrimp works here too. Add it during the last 15–30 seconds just to heat through.
  • Use what you have for pasta – Any pasta works. I like spaghetti, but this recipe is very forgiving.

  • 8 ounces spaghetti
  • 1 pound frozen shrimp peeled and deveineddefrosted
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 8 ounces pestoI used Trader Joe’s Kale Cashew Pesto
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoessliced in half
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a good pinch of salt and add the spaghetti. Once boiling, cook the pasta according to the package directions. Before straining, reserve 1/2 cup pasta water.

    8 ounces spaghetti

  • Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, spray with some avocado oil or olive oil and add the shrimp. Be sure the shrimp are in a single layer and sprinkle with salt and garlic powder. Cook 2-3 minutes per side.

    1 pound frozen shrimp peeled and deveined, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • After draining pasta, add the pasta back to the pot and add the cooked shrimp, the entire container of pesto and 1 cup sliced tomatoes and stir well.

    8 ounces pesto, 1 cup cherry tomatoes

  • Add about 1/4 cup of the pasta water to the pot and stir well. Continue adding more liquid as needed until you get the consistency of the sauce you love. Serve hot.

Recipe tips

  • Save some pasta water – Before draining, reserve about ½–1 cup of pasta cooking liquid. Add a splash as needed to help the pesto coat the pasta and shrimp evenly.
  • Pesto amounts will vary – Every pesto is a little different. Start with less, toss, and add more until it’s coated how you like it.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. You can eat leftovers cold or warmed back up.

Other Easy Additions

If you want to switch things up or make this a little more filling, here are a few easy add-ins:

  • White Beans – Cannellini beans are my favorite here. They add a little extra protein and make the dish more filling without any extra work.
  • Sun-Dried Tomatoes – I add these whenever I have them. They bring a lot of flavor and pair really well with the pesto.
  • Cheese – A sprinkle of Parmesan or a little feta on top is always a good idea.
  • Crushed Red Pepper Flakes – Add a pinch if you want a little heat.
  • Extra Greens – Toss in some baby spinach or arugula at the end and let it wilt slightly. Add a pinch of salt so the greens are seasoned too.

Spicy Asian Cucumber Salad Recipe

0

I’ve had a garden for many years now and every Spring I look forward to getting my hands back in the dirt! One of the easy vegetables you’ll often find growing in my backyard are cucumbers. They’re the perfect, refreshing side dish on warmer days, especially when they’re in this Asian cucumber salad. 

Veggies don’t have to be boring when they’re covered in a flavorful (and healthy!) sauce. Some of my kids favorite sauces to dip vegetables in include homemade ranch dressing or French onion dip. This recipe offers another option to get kids (and adults) more excited to eat their veggies. 

Spicy Cucumber Salad Recipe

The ingredients are pretty simple and the recipe only requires about 10 minutes of hands on time total. You might have seen the viral 3 ingredient spicy cucumber salad, but this version has more complex flavors. Even so, it takes just a couple minutes to mix up the sauce. 

Coconut aminos or soy sauce adds a nice umami flavor, raw honey adds sweetness and minerals, and the chopped peanuts add an addictive crunch. The rice vinegar helps cut through the earthy flavors and sweetness of the honey to really balance out the blend. Plus there’s the added flavors of the parsley, garlic, and black pepper. 

The spice in this spicy cucumber salad comes from red chili flakes which add a nice heat. If your family doesn’t like it as spicy (or at all), then reduce or omit them. Like it really spicy? Feel free to add more! Just be sure to taste it first before adding more and adjust to taste. 

Prepping the Cucumbers

I usually just chop my veggies in the food processor and call it a day, but this Asian cucumber salad has an additional step. By sprinkling the slices with some salt first and then patting them dry it reduces some of the extra moisture. Cucumbers are mostly water and when they’re added to a salad like this it can get really watery. It’s a simple step that allows the cucumbers to really soak up all of that delicious sauce. 

Here’s how to make it!

Spicy Asian Cucumber Salad Recipe

This delicious Asian cucumber salad recipe is a spicy, salty, and refreshing side dish. Full of flavor and nutrition it’s a summer staple!

  • Lay the sliced cucumbers in a single layer on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Sprinkle evenly with ½ teaspoon salt and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.

  • Rinse the salted cucumber slices under cool water, then pat thoroughly dry with paper towels. This step keeps the sauce from getting watery and ensures the best flavor absorption.

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, rice vinegar, natural peanut butter, raw honey, garlic, dried red chili flakes, ground black pepper, and fresh parsley until smooth and fully combined.

  • Add the dried cucumber slices to the peanut sauce and toss until every slice is well coated. Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with chopped peanuts.

  • Serve immediately or chill for up to 1 hour.
