Blackberry Season is Over...............

The blackberry season is pretty much over. We got to eat all the berries we wanted for a month along with cobblers and muffins. Below is a photo of 3 large berries grown in the greenhouse. They are giant but not as tasty as field grown since they are puffed up with water and not as sweet....they make a good photo though.
There still are a least 20 lbs in the freezer for future yummies. I calculate that we harvested about 40 lbs which is equal to 1 lb of berries per foot of row. We were thinking of planting another 50 foot row but that is too much. So I gave some stock plants to our neighbor for future enjoyment. Yes here it comes......it has been a berry berry good gardening season.
