The blackberries are just beginning to ripen, so we made our way out to the field to harvest them. We got several quarts on both the 29th and 30th. June 29th was the first day we found any ripe here in Kansas.
The blackberry brambles are very hard to move around in and we were thinking about mowing rows through them in the fall to make them easier to get through. The berries are delicious and you just can not beat the nutrition and value of wild berries. Free and nutritious!
I learned that you can't pick wild blackberries in shorts. Steve did most of the picking because he had jeans on. I think next time I will wear sleeves and gloves too. Ouch! Today I am making blackberry cobbler and pie. :) YUM!
