Just watch out for the mosquitoes, ticks, flies, leeches, thorns, and poison ivy!

Yeah the number of blackberries was stunning. I had to leave before they fully ripened but in a few days I think there will be enough for multiple pies. There were thousands of berries.
That is incredible. I don't think I've ever come across such an abundance like that.
I'm getting pretty good thimbleberries and blueberries right now though, which I'm really happy about π
Nice! I love thimbleberries. Always wanted to bake with them since I love their flavorβmy wife calls them electric raspberries. But Iβve never been able to find more than a nibble.
They're so good! I've heard they can be found in Minnesota, among other places.
It's kind of been a tough season for them I think. They were popping really well, and then we had a pretty good dry spell for a while so they got kind of shrivel-y.
I think it's interesting when you catch them just before they go bad and they have a fermented flavor to them.
