The black raspberries are in full swing now, I don't bother covering them as the birds need to eat too and it keeps them from the blu berries. 2nd photo is of my thornless blackberries which have a few weeks to go but look to be loaded and well over 10' high. They are a very soft and sweet fruit but don't ship well so if you buy them at the store they are usually not allowed to ripen fully because they need to be firm to ship or result in squashed fruit so they are never as sweet as ones that are left on plant till last possible second. These rarely make it to the fridge as we eat them as we pick em.
