Ours are starting to colour too. It does seem a bit early. Can you add your location to your profile please? Then it will show up on your posts and you won't have to keep telling us where you are. -

Blackberries like a lot of other stuff are quite early this year I have been picking slowly for just under a fortnight.

I got four yesterday, and the plant is so laden with fruit it's broken off the fence. Guess I'll be making gallons of blackberry port this year, *sigh*, what a choreAll gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.Comment

Here in NW Kent the first wild green blackberries are just beginning to turn red. We don't have "tame" blackberries - yet. But generally, my tame soft fruit is early - tayberreis are over and redcurrents and gooseberries very nearly done. No rasberries this year because of an accident with the fruit cage involvng a collapsed wall , but they would be coming strongly now. We will pick some gages (Ollins Golden Gage ti be precise) over the weekend for bottling - but these will be a bit underripe.Comment

I picked the first tame blackberry this morning, and there was only one, the rest won't be ready for a week or so. This year's harvest looks like a bumper one though and a good month early I'd say..Blackberry and apple pie, anyone?Comment
