So many blackberries this year!

Does anyone else's dog pick their own blackberries or other berries? Merlin is a great picker of fruit - he walks along snacking off all the low-hanging blackberries he can find. In season he also picks blueberries. But with there being so many blackberries at present his poo yesterday was a weird sort of purple colour, which of course made me think he had internal bleeding... No, just a surfeit of soft fruit! Luckily he can't reach the raspberries in my garden or I bet he'd have them too.

We also have SO many blackberries on all the bushes, I've never seen so many! Joy and I had a blackberry picking walk thismorning, she enjoyed picking some off the lower branches. Here is just one of the many bushes after I'd finished picking, also some of the remaining bushes. As you can see, there are literally hundreds left!20250816_113157.jpg20250816_113122.jpg
