Are We Picking Blackberries WRONG?

In today’s video, we’re out in the garden rain or shine to harvest this week's blackberry crop from our 60+ canes. Along the way, I’m breaking down the difference between an underripe berry, a berry that's ideal for storage, and the secret "matte finish" sign that means a blackberry has reached peak sweetness. But that’s not all—the harvest took an unexpected turn today when I discovered a beautiful surprise hiding right in the middle of the canes! Let me know in the comments: When you find a fruit or berry that a bird has already pecked at, do you leave it on the plant to keep them away from the rest, or do you pull it immediately to prevent disease? Let’s settle the debate below! #Blackberries #Homesteading #BackyardGarden #HarvestDay #OrganicGardening #GrowYourOwnFood
