Dang it, how’d you get yours to all come ripe at the same time?! My woofer remains obsessed with them, and every time I turn my back she’s over at the bramble chowing down… 🤣

So early this year, we had a lovely apple and blackberry crumble last week, lush.

I might have to take some for a bit of processing. saltspringwinecellar.com

Time to make some blackberry wine, I think.

Just baked some blackberry and apple muffins with fruit from the scrubland at the back of my house 😁

I've been happily harvesting the ones on one wall on the way back from the station as they're the only ripe ones I've found yet.

Blackberry Wine! What a timely reminder. Onto next month's reading list it goes.

I have eaten so many 😳

Sloes are early this year too. I get mine from the local cemetery.
