Blackberry Pickin Update

Well it's been a good year for blackberries that's for sure. I've been picking for about 2 weeks and some areas are picked out and others are just starting to turn so I will be picking for a while longer. What you see in the picture is 12 2 quart bags and 11 1 quart bags that are washed cleaned when dried then bagged and frozen. The kicker is this is only a 1/3 of what I have picked, Mom has the same amount as me and my aunts have as much or more. It's funny how some blackberries turn red when frozen while others stay black, Never have figured that one out. All I know is when the snow flies a hot piece of blackberry pie or cobbler sure tastes good and warms you up and makes the winter a little more bearable. I wonder how many gallons of berries I have picked so far? When I pick I pick them all, Some people only pick the big ones and wont touch the small ones and I don't care what size they are I just pick them. It don't matter what size they are when you make a pie or jelly you just need the blackberries and lots of them. I hope you enjoy. Bandit

Thanks! Like I said come winter I will have plenty to make a pie or cobbler with. I've had 4 cobblers so far but they sure don't last for long. I really don't need to pick anymore but I just cant stand to see good blackberries go to waste. Plenty of people want them but they just don't want to pick them, To hot to many thorns to many weeds, I think just plane lazy. Oh well it's just more for me. I didn't pick today so tomorrow will be a real good pickin day. Bandit
 
Yes folks want them but dont want to work for them. Im with you just more for us . I dont mind a bit picking blackberrys because i love some cobbler. Like you they dont sit long.
 
I just got another bag out to fill and found out that what I thought were 2 quart bags turned out to be 1 gallon bags! So I have picked way more blackberries than I thought I did, So there are 3 more 1 gallon bags added to the freezer sense I posted this. I don't think I have ever picked this many blackberries in one year in my life! Not to refigure how many I have picked for me, Mom and the aunts. Nice to know when your wrong it can be a good thing.
