Picked 2 more quarts today too. Still have 5 bushes out of 16 not picked, so I should get another 2 quarts tomorrow. Then the nephews and nieces will converge for the age 7 and under pick a thon, our 3rd annual.

Went golfing today and ate a quart just looking for my lost balls. Picked up a dozen new balls also!

Just picked 2 more quarts. Now at 5 quarts with 3 plants to go yet, plus the ripe ones showing up on the previously picked plants. All organic and am amazed at the lack of bugs, especially mosquitos, thank you Jesus! The netting has the birds quite irritated, but I always leave them some, after the little ones come a picking. They eat far more then they keep...like their uncle (me) when I go pick blackberries, strawberries and raspberries. I found a strawberry patch just off of a fairway when golfing. I filled my gut and my cooler with the biggest wild strawberries i've ever seen. Aparently they are benefitting from the fertilizer from the runoff of the course. Plus I filled my golf bag full of Titleist Pro V's and others golf balls the big hitter's lose off the fairway some 260 + yards from the Tee Box!
We Done It! 15 gallons. I'm starting to think I'm crazy like everybody else said....
Glenna hung in there all the way to the end that's pretty cool. I know it wasn't easy this heat has been hell!

Up to 10 quarts and I can see them and the netting in my sleep. I was eating dinner last night and swear I was looking through the net at my dinner plate...
I remember roller skating at the rink when I was young and feeling like I was still on skates hours later. Or Ice Fishing all day and seeing the holes with my eyes closed hours after leaving the ice...

You are the berry picking king man.
Not berries but I did pick up a basket of cobbler peaches today for $2. They're past ripe so perfect for making cobblers and pies.

Picked a gallon for my daughter. And I picked a gallon tonight for my neighbor ( I think he almost shit his pants when he saw that bucket full of berries).
I pick one gallon tomorrow for my crane mechanic, We will be right at 30 gallons for the year. (Counting the domestics we grew also)...I'm fuggin done unless one of you guys want to come over and I will help fill yer bucket. There is PLENTY still on these plants.

Hell yeah peach cobler rocks. Big ole scoop of vanilla ice cream and warm peach cobbler.
30 gallons is a damn big load of berries. Holy crap dude.
Thanks!
My remark was an exclamation point...not a question mark. See, told ya I was whooped...lol. Berry Patches average about 110° lately.
