Starting to see pickable numbers of ripening berries. Not the peak yet, but time is here. Looks like decent numbers this year. Pie tonight!

Where at? I’m pretty low on the wet side and am still seeing blossoms on all the patches around me.
What country can preserve it's liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants.

I've never said this before, like ever, but I'm jealous of you Westside guys and your access to Blackberries :chuckle:

My kiddo was in heaven when we went out. He’s a lucky charm too, 1 cougar, 1 coyote, 4 bears, 20 dear and a whole bunch of blackberries on our last two scouting missions together.

Lucky for you, you have a guy that will host you and feed you and allow you to pick as many berries as you want.  Just means miles.

I checked a few spots today and they are all still green. 

And someone mowed my favorite spot.   :(

Wait until you see how much cheap stolen property is available on Craigslist over here, there’s plenty of silver linings!

We started picking the little trailing blackberries about June 20. We had picked 8 gallons by last weekend. Found a couple good slash piles. Enough for this year. Lots of pies and jam

Bump for the start of blackberry time. We got a fairly good haul yesterday. Pie tonight! Lots of green/red ones getting zapped by the hot dry conditions.
