I have a local "Secret Spot" for collecting blackberries. Probably not so secret, since it's in a mostly undeveloped office complex, but there are lots of bushes right along the road.
Anyway, I've had my eye on them since last year, when I went by about a week too late. I've been waiting patiently all year for this year's crop. I've been checking on them for a few weeks, and as recently as two days ago, and I think this is going to be the weekend they reach their potential. And there is a good crop too.
My son is getting married this weekend and with all the activity and family, there is no way I'll be able to go picking. So I decided I'd try to get an early start and go today and pick whatever first fruits might be available. When I drove up the road I was horrified to see that someone has bush hogged over half of the stretch of roadside, completely obliterating the bushes. I have a bad feeling that the other half will be done this week too.
Not happy!
