Chris Martin and Francie Von Mertens — Fri, 16 Nov 2012 05:00:00 +0000

Cranberries are a wetlands obligate, meaning they grow in wetland soils, so keep a watch for these low, trailing plants when you're out exploring river edges and soggy lowlands. And then return in November for the harvest. Many berries survive through the winter freeze to provide a spring snack.
