Wild Blackberry picking / eating on the farm July 9, 2021

Last week I picked a gallon of wild blackberries, they were used to make blackberry jam.

Today I picked and am picking more blackberries.  We have had a little rain this week which has helped the blackberries, the best (large, plump, juicy, black) wild ones are presently in partial shade along the edges of the woods.  

We also have a few blueberry bushes growing in our garden area and some of the blueberries are now nice and large and plump and blue and I ate my first blueberry of the season today. 

Pro tip:  if you want a really nice crop of wild blackberries, dump some horse manure at the edge of the woods and wait two years and allow nature to do some magic and you will be rewarded.
