The garden is well mulched and that is helping to hold moisture, but I'm keeping an eye on that. The pole beans are really vining and blooming and the tomatoes are starting to turn. We should have some fresh beans and 'maters really soon.
Below is a shot of the first few blackberries of the season. I hope to get enough off the young plants to make a cobbler or two, or maybe a batch of wine. I had a handful with breakfast this morning.

excellent! I just finished making 2 dozen jars of blackberry jelly and a dozen jars of blackberry syrup (also known as jelly that didn't set LOL) In NC, we'll still be able to pick a few more, but most have alrady ripened. My next task with the blackberries is to prune back that canes that produced so well this year!
ReplyDeletethere is not much better than blackberry jelly on a hot biscuit! Definitely worth the effort!
