Well I like to think of
our berries as 'ripening challenged...' but yes, same here. We usually have a party to attend this next weekend that is based on the blackberries - so this is going to be weird...
We have only had one pie this year so far - and all those berries were from the sunniest parts of our property. Good news is, we still have a lot of bees. So as long as we have bees I will try and not worry too much.
