It's blackberry season, time to pick is now

If you enjoy wild blackberries, now is the time to pick.

Berries are ripe on the vine, but it will not take long for other creatures to find them, too. If you want to get a few quarts, better make it quick.

Be sure to wear protective clothing – maybe even some repellant – as chiggers and ticks are among the guardians of those succulent berries.
