Wow! If I recall from your last year's thread, those are way ahead of time for this climate. How awesome is that?

I like your clamp setup. I wonder why I didn't think to do that with my raspberries?

Your raspberries are still producing now? Mine were finished a few weeks ago. I wondered why all the birds were lined up in a row on the fence this morning. Then I realized they were waiting their turn at the chokecherry tree =:)

I still have lots, some late season variety. Your blackberries look good,.. another year of ripening!
When I was telling about mine ripening, ..it seems like they got sunburned a bit, now they still look the same and very small.

Red raspberries are over but yellows are still producing a few berries. Blackberries are now coming along nicely. The advantage of fresh-off-the-vine is that you can let them get full-flavoured and much sweeter than the store-bought kind because when they really sweeten up and flavour up they would be too soft for long-distance shipping. Definitely a hit-or-miss fruit in this climate though.
