And theyre not that nice not much flavour.

Re: Blackberry Picking

Do you find the nice large berries are often out of hands reach and your to afraid to stretch incase you slip and fall into the prickly brambles

Re: Blackberry Picking

Used to go every summer as a kid as there were plenty of Blackberry bushes along the paths where we lived.

The rule was to never pick the ones low enough for a dog (or other animal) to wee on.

Wash thoroughly incase flies have landed on the ones you pick and of course to get the maggots out
