This is our astounding berry harvest tally - and it's not over yet, as the blackberries are still ripening!
- 27kg (yes, that's right, 27 kilograms) of brambleberries, still more to pick
- 4.5 kg redcurrants (finished for the season)
- 1.1 kg blackcurrants (finished for the season)
- 2.5kg raspberries - and more coming along
- 2.7kg boysenberries (just about finished for the season)
I have berries in our freezer and berries in mum's freezer. We have berries on our cereal every morning. I have also made 50 jars of various berry jam and jelly, 4 litres of brambleberry cordial, 1 litre of brambleberry gin (no idea how it will turn out but what the heck!) and even 4 large jars of brambleberry and apple chutney.
Soon I may just turn into a berry!

Margo,
Are your blackberries wild or planned/cultivated?
Regards, Gary
Hi Gary - the blackberries were planned (thornless variety, bought from a nursery)
