Early Sunday Report of Saturday's Pickings

The pickings remain slim. Only 100 lbs recorded for the day at the checkout. Saw a couple reports of 10 or more lbs picked, but most of the reports were for 5 lbs or less. Those that had picked 10 lbs or more would make a note to the effect, "Found a great bush (or row)." This means that your time is well spent looking around and "discovering" some that others have overlooked. There are still those two long rows with a lot of berries, predominantly unripe. We wish we could tell you when they will be ready to pick but there is no way of knowing. Some years they have not ripened before the first fall frost. Everyone is welcome to come pick until there is nothing left.

Does it look like ripening is happening this week? Thinking of driving quite a long way end of this week IF you think it might be worthwhile for a bucket or two. Thanks!

a few pickers got a couple of buckets yesterday. I would think that if you have 4 hours and you come early in the morning, you "should" be able to fill 2 buckets, certainly one.
