YOU'RE PICKING BLACKBERRIES ALREADY?!!
That would be right. He lives in Georgia, I live in SW Michigan
(borderline zone 5-6). In traveling, I have noticed with many things
that his area will have them come due approx. 6 weeks before they do
here - blackberries usually ripen in mid-July here. So he's right on
schedule.

I won't see them until mid Aug., here in N. California.
Look under the lower branches, many are hidden in the shade. But I'm
getting 2 or 3 cups every 2 or 3 days. I'm loving it!

I might be able to get more, but a half hour or so in blackberry
brambles working up a sweat is enough!

My problem is that half the time the red juice on my hands isn't juice

That accurately sums up blackberry picking.

I suppose I shouldn't mention that I am eating them now. mmmm, plump
and juicy... Trying to save some...
