It's Blackberry Picking Time!!

[FlyLie]

I usually think of July 4th as being prime time for the berries, but noticed there are quite a few ripe ones on the vines now. I have several wild 2 year old vines on a ditch line I had cleared out a couple of years ago and they are loaded with good sized berries. Also have some 2 year old thorn less vines in the garden and it looks like they are going to have a good crop in another 2 weeks.

So,anyway, I grabbed a pail this morning and collected a few of the owners share. Picked about 5 cups before my lower back said that's enough.

Now, that's enough to make a BlackBerry Cobbler! Anyone have a good Ole Southern Receipt to share?

Did you plant seedless ones? if so, do you have a watch dawg?

I was out clearing a fence row this weekend. Picked a few myself. Got a bunch of chiggers around privates, legs ankles.

I can see why they sell for $3.00 a pint!!! If I were to pick them for sale I would charge $25.00 a pint!!!

scratch,scrath, scratch. Rite Aid is out of chiggar rid till tuesday. I even sprayed my legs with Off before I started on the fence row.

10-4 on the chiggers. Hoping I didn't pick up any of those hitch hickers.

I heard a tea bag soaked in gas never gets chiggers. I'm just saying....totally kidding!
Man I have had that area attacked before and it really is a pain.

Speak for yourself! LOL

Thats why its a known and proven fact[according to FOX news], that all chiggers are female, they really know where to hurt a guy. I found out the hard way, being a tried and true urbanite, my mouth watered at the sight of all those free rasberrys on my property,have never picked one since!

No recipe, but I ALWAYS purchase a Blackberry/Peach pie from Betties Pies in Two Harbors, MN when I come back from my spring canadian trips. Talk about GOOD............MM GOOD.

Hope your cobbler turns out good.

Later,

Hurry up and get that Cobbler done because I'm STARVING. You make the Cobbler and I will bring the milk and ice cream

Missah Boom, do you actually mean you would shoot an old man over a measly three or four quarts of berries??, are you a good shot?
