We saw our first ripe blackberry 2-3 days ago. Since then a few blackberry bushes have ripened one berry at a time. If I don’t pick them, the birds will get them or a few were almost ripe enough to fall off. Just got back from picking a bunch.
The line on the inside of the bucket shows I’m about at a pint! That’s not really enough for a pie. Going to have to call Virginia in the Catskills for her blackberry pie recipe, because we’ll soon have enough. I’m so glad I wore long pants and gloves.
