I've been eating wild blackberries for a week now, ever morning and evening I just go and eat until I'm tired of being stabbed by those little bastard briars. Their so good and yet hurt so much......
Our blackberries are red now. A ripe one every now and again.

I have ate my share of huckleberries. Not a great crop of them this year, but what is there is really sweet.

Do the blackberries seem late this year or I'm I just being impatient.

Those look nice.
They taste good too :bigjoint:


I've been eating a few blackberries. But the hot dry weather is doing a number on them.
We go out to Sauvie Island when the wild/invasive Himalayan's are ready and pick gallons of them on public land. Sauvie's Island is at the confluence of the Columbia and Wilamette rivers. There's also a ton of farms out there and sometimes we pick peaches as well when they're in season.

One day last week I was sitting under the oak in the garden. I noticed 3-4 red birds landing in the tree above me, then flying off. After a few minutes I saw where they were going. The sons of bitches were eating my blueberries. They had got most of them by then. I looked today, and the rest of them were gone. Not sure what we will do going forward. They are planted in a long row. I wish now they were grouped closer so I could net them.
