Berry Picking Time

Today I my own self pulled up about 200# of onions. Oddly, the 1015's didn't seem to do as well as garden variety Granex. Southern Belle (red variety) out performed 2:1 easily, but that's s hybrid after all. We are still in a high state of lettuce and hanging around the tomatoes trying to ripen them by force of will.

Mostly though it's dewberry time. There's not a lot of them, and they are hard to pick being on the ground, with bugs and snakes, but they're worth it. They have a bit of raspberry like flavor that the more common blackberry doesn't. We've had a couple of cobblers and I was able to make some jam in the very early morning. The dewberry is pretty much for us, there just isn't enough to share. And after all, blackberries will be along in a couple of weeks...and there's lot's of them, plenty to go around.
