    Just picked a 5 gallon bucket of cherry tomatoes and 40 pounds of concord grapes. Wife picked another 5 pounds of blackberries. I think we have too much.:)

    There is at least that much on still on the vines (grapes). We have probably another 10 lbs of blackberries to pick yet; and if they ripen in the next 17 days, probably another 40-50 gallons of tomatoes.

    She made homemade wine out of the wild grapes on the property (which both of our children like to drink) and the wild plums she made what she calls Korean mash which is basically wine on steroids.

    You dont plant blackberries do you? They've just grown in the wild for me.

    Also, this might be good for you, but not for me. If you eat alot of cherries, it will become a laxative, I found this out as a kid.

    We have wild blackberries and the thornless domesticated blackberries.
