Some immutable truths about picking dewberries…

[ThisLadyHunts]

While picking dewberries this weekend, I had some time to ponder. Here’s what I came up with…

You can pick for hours and still end up with only half a pail.

If you drop a dewberry on the ground, you will never, ever find it again. Don’t bother digging for it, it’s already made it to China.

Always carry a gun. Dewberries and snakes go together like peas and carrots.

Plan to step in cow sh*t. The berries nearest them grow the biggest.

If you’re put off by a few twigs and sticks in your berries or you get squeamish when the occasional bug crawls out of your berries and cereal, then eating dewberries probably isn’t for you.

Finally, if the very first thing you make with your freshly picked dewberries isn’t a dewberry cobbler, then there’s something wrong with you.

That pie looks great! Hope there are some left in Central Texas in the next few weeks.

Fond memories of picking dewberries and then eating them with vanilla ice cream.

We picked two gallon bags in mid April, I probably ate another gallon bag myself. My wife made two dewberry cobblers back to back weeks. I’ll pick them till my hands are raw for a cobbler and some blue bell

I’d go fishing behind the house after school in late spring and often times never make it to the pond. Once I hit that fence line after a big rain, I’d roll in at dark with a full belly, purple fingers, and hands looking like I’d been in a cat fight.

I stopped and picked some on a road side fence line , some being 2 gallons in an hour! Big and juicy!

Awesome. Now I have to go to the woods after the rain water subsides.

Looks good enough to ask for the recipe

Brings back fond memories of copperheads! That cobbler sure looks good

We've picked our share this year. My rule is, yall get the bucket till we get home then I'm freezing what's left. I haven't froze too many. 😂

Wow that cobbler looks amazing!

[PondPopper]

All true.
I have access to the mother load of berries. I need to get to picking.
