Last year I canned all the berries I picked and every time I opened a jar during the winter months, I remembered summer. This year's crops of blackberries and raspberries look to be abundant. Wish you were near enough to come share a jar (and memories of berry picking) with me.Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14555472024981357622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31711654.post-56236425890771213572018-06-24T10:48:55.532-04:002018-06-24T10:48:55.532-04:00Pam - It's not so much about the eating as abo...<br />Pam - It's not so much about the eating as about the thrill of the chase and defeating the brambles. And yes. I seem uninspired these days, or, I start something and then it fizzles and comes to rest in drafts. And I'm not alone it seems. Many of the bloggers I started out with have hung their blog on the back of the door of that old disused shed where blogs go to die. But I'm no quitting yet!<br /><br />Anna - Not sure about the "good haul." One jar of jam, likely!<br /><br />Dee - So sorry.

Just lie on the floor, close your eyes and let yourself drift away!<br /><br /><br />Marigold - Yes. I've been MIA. It's been six crazy months. No promises, though I'd love to be inspired enough for at least once a week, but I start something and then it sinks into my draft folder and gets forgotten. My mother didn't make blackberry jam. Her specialty was marmalade, but my friend's mother always sent her (6)children off to the fields at the end of our road to gather as many as the could without getting caught and chased away by Mr. Barry whose fields they were. Maybe that had something to do with how delicious her blackberry jam tasted<br /><br />gz -I'm afraid to mess with it and possibly make things worse. I did join a local computer club so maybe I will soon learn enough to do it right, or at least fix things when they go pear-shaped....<br /><br />Dianne -see above re savasana and, as far as jam making goes, procrastination!<br /><br />Colette -So you think faded green is more stylish? I think yellow would be better in my situation as yellow boots sticking up from amid the brambles might ensure earlier rescue than green which would just blend in....<br /><br />SK - Fun times - and we didn't even have any gadgets! How did we survive?<br /><br /><br />SAW - we also have cultivated blackberries which are only now ripening. I seem to remember that they take a few years to get established to where you get any fruit. The smaller wild ones have been ripening continuously for weeks now. but there should definitely be hazardous pay for the picker... <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03797484583400519909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31711654.post-47015802396583540762018-06-09T12:16:18.381-04:002018-06-09T12:16:18.381-04:00I love blackberries, even though it's dangerou...I love blackberries, even though it's dangerous work picking them.

As always a brilliant post and I was there with you in those bramble bushes! Savasna eh but certainly not a santosha time before getting to it I guess? Hope the blackberry jam will taste good and remind you of your efforts. What was it my mother used to say - anything worth having is worth paying for and not always in money!
