Brad, I'm looking fprward to the balckberries comming in too. I can't wait! My grandma has about 3 acres that is filled with blackberry bushes. Right now, it's almost completely white with flowers.

Can I come visit your grandma, crewsk? That sounds like pure Heaven to me!

Come on down PA! I'm planning a day of blackberry picking with the kids as soon as they start comming in.

I'm soooo jealous. Though I love my Nothern location, and all of that gorgeous fresh water of Lake Superior, the leaves are just poking out of plants now. I have a few early spring bulbs that have been flowering for about a week. But it will be 3 months before I see raspberries or blackberries. It'll be the end of July, begining of August that blueberries will be available. But when they come, our Northern, low-bush blueberries put high-bush varities to shame for flavor. I have a freind who grew up down-state (that's below the Mackinaw Bridge for you non-Michiganders, you know, where the trolls live

) who has flat stated that she was so surprized that she couldn't pick blueberries at chest-high levels, but that the berries she grew up with weren't even close in flavor quality to our wild berries. But I have to wait so long.

Ah well, that's just the way it is.

Oh, and Rainee, send me one of those coblers, virtual cobler of course, chilled in dry ice, across cyber space. The recipe sounds deliscious.

Frozen blackberries would be a good subsitute.

Chief Longwind Of The North · 05-10-2005, 10:18 PM

True, but when you pick your own, especially from the wild, they are so much sweeter, and with a more pronounced flavor. The comercial varieties are so over-watered that their flavor is diluted, sacrificed for size. I'll just wait for the good stuff. Though canned might work. Hmmmm.
