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 😁

          Nice! I love thimbleberries. Always wanted to bake with them since I love their flavor—my wife calls them electric raspberries. But I’ve 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.

      Wisconsin, so about as far as can be within the region, but I’m sure we have some similar species!
