Summer Blackberries
We live next door to a empty property. The front garden has become wild and untamed, but there is some benefit. I have been greedily feeding off a large wild blackberry bush right next to my fence each summer. Over the last couple of weeks I have been keenly watching the heavily laden bush change colour and become dotted with purple bulbous jewels. This morning however, I realised I had competition! I watched Mrs Blackbird sit on top of the bin cupboard jumping up and grabbing the ripened fruit. Lets just say 3 kg later of freshly picked blackberries and I was pretty happy. Now I have to find the time to turn it into jam!

Oh yummy blackberries.
ReplyDeleteI was looking at the hedgerows this morning and thinking it won't be long before I'm eating my lunch while walking the dogs! Lovely photograph. The texture really suits the image.

Yummy for sure. Our blackberries come in season in April. We just finished our blueberry season, so I have plans to make a cobbler this weekend. Mmmmmm.
