Every year I pick blackberries. I've started earlier this year as the hot June and the rainy July have contrived to create the perfect blackberry harvest.
I find the colours of berries in stages of green, red and black with white flowers and green leaves truly inspiring.
But most of all the blackberries are so delicious. It is early on in the blackberry harvest and I've picked enough to make blackberry jam. I'll get some more to freeze for a late September early October crumble and then my pickings during the week will be for breakfast and nibbles

I save Bonne Maman jars to use (I love their marmalade and jams).
But I can't help but wish I was foraging in one of these numbers. Truly perfect blackberry picking attire!

Delightful post, love every bit of it! One of my most favorite thing to do is to go to the local farm in the Summer and Fall. I am the happiest when there is time to pick cherries!:-)))

ReplyDeleteThank you for the lovely comment on my blog!
I spotted some blackberries by the railroad line on the way to get a blood test today! (sorry, slightly gruesome but true!). In fact, I picked a few to make myself feel better after the ensuing fainting episode! Love the Lanvin! xx
