Are there still blackberries about?

I realise I may be too late.  But are there still blackberries around to pick?  I went out around this time last year but I think the season this year has been earlier.

Our devils not as rude as that, after the 30th he spits on em! Which is why you often see them with a spittle like froth, more likely to be a little insect that uses the bubble effect to protect himself from predators . Ie cuckoo spit?

Blackberries belong to the Devil after the first frost.

Actually frost tends to spoil the fruit so he's welcome to them then.

I was told that the devil wee'd on the fruit after 23rd September!!

If your plum trees dont' fruit, put a bucket of builders rubble under it, the lime does it the world of good.

the birds ate my cherries, blueberries,strawberries,plums and the squirrel would of had the 7 hazlenuts I found but I picked them and I'm having those!! methinks, I need to get some netting for next year so I get the fruit instead!!!
