Miz Anne picked a bucket full of dewberries yesterday and today I have
them steaming in the steamer since about 0830. So far about two quarts
of pure juice and more coming on all the time. I'm already having
visions of pint jars full of dewberry jelly, our first time to make any
since about 1976.
Yesterday I made a dewberry cobbler for our middle grandson and his
family. This weekend we will make a foray into the roadside business of
picking dewberries and blackberries, all ripening rapidly. Grandson and
his ten-year old son will be helping and then I will teach both of them
how to make cobblers and jelly.
The green beans are blooming, we have green tomatoes about as big as an
apricot, the sweet chile's are blooming and bearing, the radishes are
getting pulled daily, the squash is blooming and setting fruit. The
blueberries are starting to ripen and the fig tree is producing more
figs every day. All is well in our little world.

Hi George! <waving to you from Lake Livingston> We picked about 4 gallons this year. They are waiting in the freezer for when I can block out time in between working, kids/grandkids to get to them. Life is good...
