There’s a lovely old tale that says wild blackberries are best left alone after September 29th! Long ago, when Lucifer was sent from the skies, he landed right in a thick, prickly blackberry bush — and in his annoyance, he gave the fruit a good cursing and spitting, so they’d never taste sweet again! 🫐
By the end of September, the air turns crisp and dewy, and those cooler, damper days mean blackberries often get fuzzy with mold or visited by tiny little grubs. So nature itself gently whispers it’s time to leave these berries be — and wait for next summer’s fresh, juicy crop instead! 🌿
