Loads more to come - and all wild and in my garden.

I picked my first today whilst on a walk with my dog Sprocket. Unfortunately, I had to pick them into a poo bag, because I have no foresight to take a proper container!

I had on my wax jacket when i spotted them out in the front paddock (was just back from walking the dogs and blooming needed it too) - so I have a wee bit of purple pocket syndrome now

Me and the kids picked 2kg the other day! Made some delicious Blackberry Beena.

OH cut mine down this afternoon. Why couldn't he have waited until I had picked the fruit ?

They are supposed to be sweeter after the first frosts, but I don't think the plants here know that.

Just had a thought about that, Sandy - are you just selling the house or are you selling it as a 'going concern' - as a B & B with books to prove income? You might sell it easier as a running business.
