Never made it back with enough to make anything. Oops...

Blackberries grow EVERYWHERE in the area I grew up. My grandparents had 7 acres along a creek. We'd pick the berries in mid to late August for homemade blackberry ice cream. OMG, it's good. Had to pick about twice as much as needed, due to the eating of the vine effect.

Yeah, lots of wild berries up this way, too. My favorite are black raspberries, but they're the scarcest. Where they DO grow, they grow densely, but there are many, many more blackberry and red raspberry patches.

C'monnnnn JUNE!

Note to self:
1) Remember to get the ice cream machine from mom's house next visit.

2) Get blackberries.
