We had so many put on, then a dry snap, and then a frost, we have almost nothing left, and whats there is tiny and almost dried up already.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Been thick and ripe for a few weeks down here.
Seems to be the perfect season for them here.

The ones Mom grew weren't all that small. I truly hated picking them, but her cobblers and jelly were devine.

That brings back fond memories of childhood berry picking days

I love blackberries. Should be another month or so here even though it's been beautiful here for a month now. The blackberry wars of childhood, coming home stained purple. That's why we changed out of our school clothes b

Nothing like picking a bowl full before breakfast. Go down to the spring house and ladle a measure of cream right off the top of the can to cover them and dig in.
Today's generations will never experience that

Ed, what we call a dew berry is a lot larger than what we call blackberries. We may be talking about different fruits, I'm not sure. Dew berries grow on runners on the ground. They may be a foot off the ground, but not much more. Black berries grow on stems that will reach 5 or 6 feet tall.

Mulberries ought to be getting ripe. We've got a tree at our place, where Dad lives. I'll check on it next week. We didn't get any last year, so if it makes, we need them.

Mulberries ought to be getting ripe. Not here. Neither are the dewberries. We seldom get any Blackberries anymore. Seems it turns off real dry every year just as they are making fruit. All there will be are small bitter berries. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.
