i love the black berry brambles, o so wonderful with their rose coloured blossoms and this year they carry a lot of berries. we had a very small harvest last year, as the brambles got cut. and now this year we will have a lot of those wonderful sweet black berries to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner, lot's of little snacks. and even more to freeze and cook up into jam and pies...
maybe i'm dreaming a bit big, it's just two plants we have near the chicken coop, though the berries are high enough and as i'm glad this time, the spikes sharp enough to keep the chickens from snacking the berries...
as for today, i was already in the cherry tree and picked 20lbs of wonderful sweet fruit, two pies in the oven and more cherries are being given away to neighbors and friends.

How lucky you are to have such wonderful fruit in your own backyard!!! I've been wanting to buy cherries at the market but they're so darn expensive. 20 lbs. of cherries would cost me a fortune!! We had red raspberry bushes in our garden when I was a child and would eat them as quick as they grew. Great memories!! : )
