Me and boy just got back from a quad ride.
We were on a reconnaissance mission checking on a HUGE patch of blackberries we found a month or so ago when they were in blossom. We took 2 large lidded margarine tubs with us to snag a few black raspberries out the fencerow behind the house. Well....................ends up the blackberries are weeks from being anywhere near ripe. But amongst them were GOBS of purple finger fruits !!! We filled both our tubs in under 30 minutes. Shoulda taken a scrub bucket.
Tomorrow's another day...............
What are purple finger fruits??

Pick a butter tub full and it becomes pretty self-explanatory. ;D

Understood! Sounds delicious. Ours never make it into the bucket!
I'm thinking over some.good.vanilla ice cream for these ones. I've been known to whoop up a batch of wine here and there, too, so........
Now, I said my boy was "helping me"........... ;D
He was picking by the Bernie Sanders method. Of the berries he picks, 30% come home..........70% don't. ;D
Man , thats a great score. I love me some black berries.
You got me hungry for some
