It's blackberry season! And yesterday was our first harvest! We smothered ourselves in bug spray and trekked into the woods to pick the wild black berries that are coming ripe. In 2 hours, with 4 of us picking, we picked 2 gallons of blackberries.We were picking thorns out of our thumbs the rest of the day, but when we think of the jelly we'll have this summer all those little pains are forgotten. :)
Now we will keep picking them every other few days until mama has enough to make to lots of jelly and a few gallons in the freezer for winter use. Then, if this year yields a good berry harvest, we might be able to sell a few in our neighborhood!
