2021 blackberries are cranking up

[BamaProud]

I've probably picked a pound over the last 10-15 days but over the last 3 days they have really taken off. I picked almost a pound and a quarter today and left a bunch of almost ripe ones on the vines.

Biggest was 15 grams

Looks good. I used to grow Brazos blackberries when I lived at my parents. They were a little tart but my Mother made some great jelly with them. They had some killer thorns on them, you couldn't get in too big of a hurry when you picked them.

Lookin good!! Your berries are way ahead of mine. Mine aren't even turning red yet, but it looks like I will have a bumper crop.
I did pick a handful of raspberries yesterday though.
Break out the carboys lol.

You pick by the gram, or pound? Around here, we pick by the gallon..

Are those tame berries?

We got back from a week at the beach yesterday and picked over 8 pounds.

That's a nice picking of berries. I pick the wild dewberries down here, lots of walking and bending over and much smaller berries.

Wild blackberries are producing like crazy on our place. Best year we've seen in a while.

I have a lot of blackberries on my place, but they only get a little bigger than a pea. I don't pick them because of how many it takes to make enough to do something with. My old place had normal sized ones. I was thinking I might pick some regular sized ones and leave out for the birds in hope they eat and replant a different variety.
