Raspberries are ripe

[Skunk1]

Daughter and I took our annual trek out for wild raspberries. 3 quart bags and only got half way through.

I lived next to a Reforestation Camp before I left for school. We'd go back with gallon buckets every season and load up.

My three year old bushes really produced this year. Half a dozen pints of jam and a bunch fresh eating... And the wild blackberries are loaded down. About another week or two and I'll be picking them.

Skunk1 how many qts somehow didn't quite make it into the buckets. Back in Wis. I would load up on mosquito repellent and walk the pasture fence lines. Lots of berries, easy to pick, but if you sweat the repellent off you were in trouble.

Between the 2 of us. Not sure. Half a can of repellent though. Just got back with the quart bags refilled and the earlier ones frozen and vacuumed packed.

They don't even get close to picking around SE MN until after the 4th of July, or even towards August.

Enjoy them! They are one of my favorites!

I like Gooseberries too, but some don't. More for me then.

Boy those look good!

When I was a kid, I sued to love to hit the woods and eat my way through on the wild raspberries. After my wife and I got married and we built hour house on the back of the farm, I started a large raspberry patch - red and black - I planted a bunch of fruit trees as well - small saplings I got at a sale at Jeijers - pear, apple, peach, etc. I was all excited about it, looking forward to the years ahead of lots of fruit. That got dashed real quick thanks to the darn deer . . in one night, they went through and munched on all of the fruit trees and kill ed them all - then had desert at the raspberry patch!!! Grrrr . . . ate em right down to the ground and what they did'nt eat, the darn rabbits finished up. Always kind of amazed me what they did in one night . . . and yet . . . I could walk through the woods and still find fresh raspberries. We've since sold the woodlots and swamps off - used to enjoy harvesting elderberries as well when I was a kid - my Mom made some awesome elderberry pies!

Nice haul. Our wild blackberries are just starting to ripen.

Here in Western NY the strawberries have been ripe for a week or 10 days. Blackberries are in blossom.

Ours are coming on as well. The are so good, never make it to the freezer!

my rasberries look to be about a week from being ready to pick.

[quilbilly]

Those wild raspberries on our local clearcuts are still about 3-4 weeks away from ready here but the tiny native ground hugging blackberries will be ready by the 4th.

[Geezer in NH]

Our nets won't go up for another 3 weeks or so. Everything is behind here in Mid NH [just above the lakes region] We are covering the blueberries this week.

[Tripplebeards]

Mine are still hard and green. It will be weeks before they start coloring up.

We always called the ground - growing ones "Dewberries". I love both kinds in a bowl with sugar and cream. Now I'm all glazy eyed and drooling......
