Berry season

Berry season is one of the rewards for a long winter in the Pacific Northwest. Some berries grow wild here but if I’m ready to do some serious picking I go to Graysmarsh Farm, a U-Pick operation that offers a variety of beautiful, cultivated berries for a fraction of the cost of store bought. This is a blackberry. It’s easily more than double the size of those found on wild bushes.

I picked a couple of pounds of blackberries and raspberries this week and was happy with my harvest. But I think the peak of the season is still to come. Some blackberries, above, still have blossoms and ripe berries are surrounded by ones that should be perfect later this month. I may make a return visit. It’s such a summery sort of thing to do.

  1. I haven’t been berry picking for such a long time Kay, you made it sound very enticing here. Happy weekend ✨

  2. We’ve picked some tasty blackberries through the years. Lots of places here that you can find them. I like them mixed in porridge or yogurt.
