Blackberries are early this year
Normally we would see them ripening in mid-June, but the unusually warm winter woke them up in February and had them blooming by March.
Unfortunately, the bees weren’t out in force yet so a lot of flowers went un-pollinated.
I doubt we’ll harvest more than a pound or two, so we probably won’t be making blackberry jam this year. But at least we have fresh berries for the next few weeks.
