It's blackberry season in western Kentucky !One of the most succulent fruits is the wild blackberry. From it you can make anything from pies to wine. Blackberry cobbler with a scoop of ice cream is a favorite summer treat.
Grandmother used to pay children 25 cents a quart to pick them for her. The greatest reward was the steaming hot pie she'd pull out of the oven a few hours later.
Berries are just starting to ripen on the vine, but pick now because they will not last. Between birds, bugs and Mother Nature, blackberries are short lived. Get them over the next few days or you won't be picking any seeds out of your teeth this July.
