Having moved house, I'm finding that the blackberry/brambles
growing in the hedgerows and fields are already ripe for

wondering if anyone else has found that they are early this
year, or is it just the town location, 150ft lower and or
different varietey?

Ours are coming ripe now, lovely!

Here in Normandy they are at least two weeks late. I saw my first ripe
one today - in my own hedgerow!.
