We had a blast! Gwen recieved a bite from one blackberry bush and was DONE berry picking. It had been 10 years since I have gone berry picking, I completely forgot how unforgiving of an activity it truly is. After failing to find big juicy ones on the rim, we drove down to the girls camp where we found the Jackpot! Litterally. Matt, Myself, Kevin, & Heather were out there picking and we picked every ripe berry within a mile radius......Gwen slept the whole time and wanted NOTHING more to do with picking them, just wanted to "chef" them when we got home. She did too! She helped make cobbler and it was DELICIOUS! There are plenty unripened berries that will be waiting for us in the next couple weeks! Can't wait! I will remember glove & clippers this trip though. 
Have you ever picked this many berries before???? It's a first for us!
We love blueberries, because they don't have the stickers! But they're more easy to find "pick your own" farms out east.
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, I've been meaning to do a post about our garden... What did you get this year? maybe I should read more carefully...
Squash, Eggplant, Tomato, Potatos, Strawberries, Cabbage, BIG pumpkin, Green Chilies, Red Chilies, That's all!
ReplyDeleteI used a sandwich cutter that I found in Wal-mart. It is actually for my little brothers lunches, but I use it . This is a really good series. It is a different twist on the whole monster and damsel in distress. I think you should try it!
ReplyDeleteI am soooo jealous!! I miss picking blackberries there!!! We would pick our neighbors and then give them to her and she would make us blackberry pies!! Oh how I miss those days...
ReplyDeleteI love blackberry picking. We would do it every July at the hatchery! You do get pretty scratched up though.
