Had several spectacular blackberry and rasberry patches in Clemson SC area. We'd freeze them up by the gallon plus make jam. 4- Queuing- If they mean time taken to describe a meal taking longer than to type up than to eat, definately guilty! If they mean just waiting in line, well we've all had to do that. It started with school lunches.. Carol -- |

Graham I have 2 apple trees in my front yard. Come time, I crop about 300 apples (small ones). Neighbors come over (with full permission, they know us) and pick some fresh for a pie. Plenty for all. I now have a next door neighbor putting in a Fuji compatible cross pollenator to my golden delish and Granny Smith and across the street, they just put in a pink lady (also a cross pollenator). In 2 years, we will have a small crop of Fuji and Pink Lady then by 5 years, a large crop. Can you call it foraging when you snag an apple off your tree for breakfast as you walk to the car to drive to work? -- |

'Getting caught in the brambles' was a reason to be late ome but it was actually a tryst and after that, they picked berries to explain why late (USA humor probably). -- |

They could be like the raspberry cans I have been trying to cultivate. I rarely see berries on them ;-( We have wild raspberry and blackberry growing in the bush behind our house. I like the look of the big blackberries you can buy in the market and I like the taste. I don't like having to deal with the seeds. |

This is what we pick https://tinyurl.com/l6g58lz They grow wild everywhere and are easy to collect; our grandchildren love to go blackberrying. Last autumn they made blackberry pie, apple and blackberry Eve's pudding, and also had raw blackberries on yoghurt and on porridge. Lots of vitamin C Janet UK |

Lots of vitamin C Jes South of Half Moon Bay (hwy 1) is a place that sells ollalieberries (or use to) as a pre-made jam or you can pick 'em yerself. I usta stop there all the time during the season. They are better than regular blackberries and within easy SFBA driving distance of where sf lives. ;) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olallieberry> nb |

Lots of vitamin C > > Janet UK Oh, I know full well what blackberries look like - they are a constant weed in my yard. I'm just saying that the briars by my childhood house in Michigan had no redeeming value to them... no berries what-so-ever. There are thorny plants that don't produce berries and that briar patch was one of them. Don't ask me what it was, because I don't know. I can only tell you what is wasn't. -- Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them. |
