Its still slightly early around here, but there are a few ripe wild blackberries. I picked about half a gallon yesterday and we have been snacking on them all day. :D Serious picking should commence in another week or so, LOTS of red ones waiting their turn. Mmmmmm ... blackberry cobbler and jelly!!

I got about a gallon of big, fat, juicy tame blackberries this evening. All the rain has been great for the berries this year. We got about 3 inches this past weekend, perfect timing as the berries finish ripening!! :D

Just saw some raspberries in a weedy area on our property this evening. They're not ripe yet. Blackberries won't be ready till late July/early August. Of course, all the wild berries are in the same areas as poison ivy. :cry:
