I just spent the last two hours walking through the forest picking berries. I have plenty of blackberry and raspberry bushes but 12 bug bites and two hours later I have learned that I see a lot of wildlife for a reason. I managed to find 10 ripe berries in the 50 bushes I searched. I also have checked the wild grape vines and they too have been eaten. Next year I will have to invest in some netting maybe or some fences. I would show you a photo of my ten berries but it was such a pitiful number and I have already eaten half of them.
The good news is that I found what looks like a butternut tree or some type of walnut tree. That will be my next foraging attempt. Lets hope the squirrels don't get to it before I do. The book I am reading says they ripen at the end of August to the beginning of September. Seeing as I will be traveling for the next few weeks that will probably be next post.
