Blackberry Winter


I woke up this morning to Blackberry Winter! It was 43 degrees and it will be in the 30's tomorrow morning.


The weather has to turn cool for one last cold snap to set the buds on the blackberry vines. When the blackberries are in full bloom then we usually have blackberry winter for a couple of days.


I always think it's strange to have such cool temperatures during the first of May and by the end of May (Memorial Day), summer is in full swing.


I love living in the south. We'll soon be picking blackberries! They grow wild here in the strangest places, but beware when picking. The snakes like them too!
