Blackberries/Brambles

In message , Roger Tonkin writes I usually regard these as autumn fruits, picking September/October, but this year some are ready now. I've been picking a few off various bushes in the fields for a couple of weeks now. There are still bushed just developing fruits and even some flowers. Has anyone else noticed this or is it peculiar to this area this year? Yes, mine are early but only a few here and there (Central Southern England and Normandy) . However I remember from childhood holidays about seventy years ago that blackberries were ripe in the West Country from about the second week of August. This year I noticed that some of my grapes growing against a wall were beginning to ripen in the last week of July which is very early. They normally begin to ripen in the last week of August. Plums also are much earlier. Yes, our Black Hamburg are pretty much ripe, even though outside and not on a wall. The wasps will be pleased... -- Jeff |
