The thornless blackberry is having a second flush of fruiting, they are large and sweet. Cheers Steve

Apple and blackberry pie of course Corky!! I had to get a thornless variety as I would come out looking like I had been in a bad accident, I am not very dainty in my picking style.
The birds, mice, squirrels, wasps and many other forms of wildlife are having a field day, there is that much juice on the floor, it looks a bit like a scene from a battlefield, but there are that many at the moment that I get some to eat. The bonanza will be over in a few days unfortunately.
I haven’t yet seen a Paraket round herre Doug, they are moving up from the south but aren’t here.... yet.
Cheers Steve

Steve, those blackberries have all the goods with little to no risk of looking like you lost a fight with a feral feline. Cheers, Doug dvg

The plant is still producing masses of large, sweet succulent fruit. Most of the wasps, insects, squirrels and birds seem to be leaving them alone, there must be large bounties elsewhere. Cheers Steve
