That entire hillside is loaded with
Oh Yea!! They're better this year. A whole lot bigger than last year. It only takes about 45 minutes to get a gallon.
I'm tellin' ya these are terrific. Cathy made me some Blackberry Jam, about 6 pints worth. I can't wait to dig in. Even the seeds won't bother me. My neighbor, Joe, came over about 7AM and away we went. It was in the high 50's and we didn't even break a sweat picking berries in the full sun. After we finished filling our buckets, we parked our backsides in the shade and swapped sea stories for about 30 minutes. What a way to begin a day. I've picked about 2 gallons and there's sooooo many more out there. I watched as deer were taking their fill of them right next to the house. I never knew they ate blackberries. They have to compete with me and Joe, the turkeys and black bears up here. It's a wonderful life!!

Wow, that looks wonderful. We have to go to the coast to get them that big. They're blackberry raisins by the time they turn black here. Too dry and this year's extreme drought conditions aren't helping.
