This has been the perfect
growing season for the blackberries that grow wild in the greater Seattle area.
We’re lucky to have so many bushes within walking distance or a short drive
away, with berries free for the taking. I’ve already picked quite a few, and
made pies and cobblers. I’ve also frozen bags and bags of berries, which I’ll pull
out and use this winter, for a taste of summer on a cold day.
Picking berries (and
sampling often as I pick
I just finished a book—yay!!–and think I’ll got out now, and pick some more.
Which fruits grow wild in
your area? Do you take advantage of the bounty as I do?
Until next month and wishing
you all a fabulous and plentiful September,
Ann

Dewberries. We love them with whipped cream and they a delicious pie. You're making me hungry.LOL
We have blackberries, blueberries and some wild strawberries. I'm not a blackberry or blueberry fan but I love strawberries.
We had so many raspberries where I grew up on a farm in Saskatchewan. I was shocked when I left home and saw the cost of a pint in the grocery store! But I agree Ann--there is something very peaceful and agreeable about spending time in the sun picking berries of any type.
Linda W-- I have never heard of dewberries! I'm going to look them up...
Linda H-- I love strawberries, too! Really, most any berries. If they're sour, a little sugar takes care of that. :)
CJ- We try to grow raspberries in the back yard. We get enough to sprinkle over cereal, but never enough to freeze. I envy those days when you had so many.
