Harvest

On a recent walk, it was so lovely to see the fields in their golden glory awaiting the harvest...





and we were lucky to find a harvest of our own - blackberries!


I was surprised to see so many already ripe...



Couldn't resist eating some as we were harvesting, one to eat...


...one for the box!


Lovely blackberry shrub, full of autumn promise, blackberry and apple pies and crumbles, Blackberry and apple streusel cake, blackberry jam, lots of yummy ideas sprang to mind...


Have you been out picking blackberries yet?

    They seem to come early now, I remember when the children were young we always went blackberrying just before they went back to school, that was late August / early September.

    We picked Huckleberries at camp.. do you have them there? The first blackberry I picked was sour.. maybe they're sweeter now. Just posted about our lake trip.. come on over! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

    What beautiful fields--this area reminds me so much of places we travel through! I LOVE the gold of this time of the year and autumn:) Our wild blackberries are ripe now--my hubby has been picking them to share with his sister. I LOVE blackberries--yum!
    Blessings,

    I have blackberries growing at the garden, before we went away I picked 4lbs of blackberries just for the freezer, plus another pound for my friend and to eat.

    I love blackberries too. Monty Don was saying the other day that they are a month early this year. Enjoy yours.
