This is only my second year picking black berries. Lastyear, on July 31st, I was able to pick 12lbs. Enough for 3 one-gallon batches of wine
This morning, a masly 4 lbs. Just enough for one batch. And I noticed too, that the average ripe berry size seemed a tad smaller than last year.
So what gives??
Was last year just a great year and this year is average?
Am I too early?
Too late?
Is this a bad year? Wet spring and hot dry summer?
George Bushes fault because of global warming J/K
But seriously, you guys that pick them every year, how are you doing this year?
