That blackberries are very bad here this year. Not enough rain, the berries are very small and not ripening. I've gone picking 4 times and hope I have enough to make some jam. I don't have nearly as much as I wanted though. .-= Christy O´s last blog ..Hanging with the animals =-.

Tricia – I wish I had a solution! My arms are all red and itchy too. I just grit through it but if you find a solution, please let me know!

Does anyone have a remedy for soothing hands scratched by blackberry briars? MO has a wonderful crop of blackberries this season and I’ve apparently picked more than I should have judging by the way my hands itch and ache.

I’m jealous, blackberry season isn’t for months for us…September is so far away! Kim

We’re headed back out tonight to pick more. We freeze a lot, we make jam and syrup. We love blackberries! Isaac and I eat blackberry pies like they were…well…blackberry pies!

The blackberry season in my front garden bed has come & gone. Need to look into some everbearing types.

I’ll be picking the third and probably final crop of blueberries today.
The birds managed to get most of my raspberries before I did.
The blackberries are still in the red stages. I’m anxiously waiting for them to ripen.

Boy, does that pie look delicious!

I don't believe Mrs. Smith has anything to do with this pie. There is nothing better than fresh blackberry pie and vanilla ice cream. Yum Yum! .-= Brenda Hudson´s last blog ..Each Day Is New- Do Birds Really Love? =-.

I am drooling with jealousy! We had a great blackberry spot last year, but the property got sold and now we have no access. I LOVE blackberry pie, warm with a blob of ice cream. And store-bought is not even the same berry by any stretch of the imagination! .-= Lynnie´s last blog ..Ladybug, Ladybug, Fly Away Home =-.
