I've been keeping an eye open for blackberries and saw some on one road I travel often.
So today, I took my gallon size zip locks and head that way to check out what was ready.
The ones in my yard are barely a green bud right now, but these on a fence line are just loaded with berries.
I picked probably about 500 feet of fence line and got 7 pounds. If no one beats me back to them I think in three or four days there will be close to 20 pounds.
I know that it's going to take some berries to make the wine I want to make this year from them.
I'm amazed that I still have 5 bottles left from last year.
It took some will power to do that.
