So how do you keep the berries in the containers? I thought you were in south, not Australia. :)

if you want to get geographic we are mid-atlantic and australia being in the southern hemisphere they are in the middle of winter< per say>

noticed the same thing picture is fine on any desktop, but notice it is upside down on my iphone.how funny

even with tired plants and odd weather which turned out to be in our favor we have had a bumper crop, but mother nature could change everything what we have left ripening.

if we could make a living producing berries, would give my 2 weeks notice in a heartbeat and never look back.

Major, once again, those are some very beautiful berries! I just saw a local ad selling raspberries at $25 /gallon. I hope you have a good security system! Best wishes for a contract, that would be sweet.

It's hard for me to imagine that many berries! I sure wish I could taste them. :( I hope you sell every last one of them. You deserve it after all of your hard work.

Good Heavens!

They sure are labor-intensive. Congratulations to her!

The value isn't just in their luscious quality but everything that it takes to bring them to the consumer! An ice cream company! Yes. A rotating ice cream truck ready to whisk those berries away waiting at the end of each row with a sample of the product on a little table under an umbrella for the DW!

Your black berries are looking great major. It must consume a lot of time maintaining order in the patch to keep it looking so good and producing so well. How many pounds do you get in a average season?..:)
