Our berry bushes have officially shuttered for the season. No more blackberries, raspberries or blueberries unless we buy them from a store or stand. And that means it's time to pilfer the neighbors' garden!In addition to growing veggies and flowers, Chet & Paula have a big, bushy tangle of blackberry vines that are bursting with plump berries. Our only competition for them is the birds, who have a knack for plucking the ripest, fattest fruit.
Fortunately I nabbed a few, still warm from the sun
And just about the time that the blackberries have ceased production, our grapes will be ready for harvest. Anyone for grape jelly?
The day you start making jelly is the day I die ; )
