Blackberries Most of us are already familiar with blackberries, and you’ll also often find them on supermarket shelves at ridiculously high prices, much like other soft fruits. Blackberries are in season during late August and through September, and often there are still some that are good to pick during October. The fruit is easy to recognise, and because they are so distinctive, there is little to confuse them with, other than a raspberry when in an unripe state. Blackberries are fun to pick, and are a great way to start a love of autumn foraging. Children especially love picking and eating the fruit. You just need to...
